1. Convey my greetings when you come to the young beauty
And tell her that she has seduced me into loving her madly

2. Since she left me yearning, forlorn
I cannot rest or settle, for she occupies all my thoughts

3. I hope that she will return to me
For I am destined to long for her as long as I live

4. Oh how I wish I knew, now that she is gone
And has cut the ropes that bound us, if she misses me still

5. The deer remind me of her eyes when I see them
The sun, her radiant face at dusk

6. Wine, the sweetness of her lips; milk, the softness of her skin
The stars, her gaze; the night, her tresses

7. The one I love has shunned you, keeping her distance
And broken away, prolonging her disdain

8. Why do you still pine for her when she has poisoned you with love
Forcing your soul to surrender and kneel before her?

9. I said intentions bring people closer, yet when I approached with nothing to offer
She saw me as a fool and turned away

10. If she distances herself from me, I am indifferent,
Her rejection does not bother me, nor do I tire of her coyness

11. I persevere and continue to work hard to win her
It is my burning desire to earn her love and make her mine

12. Until I can bring her close so my eyes can feast on her
And look into her eyes and ask her directly
