Between me and my loved ones lies what I cannot overcome; and I have
Without my loved ones, I can do naught but yearn

O deep waters of the sea, if you make for their shore
O sea swell! If you pass by their coast
and breezes mingle with you at the strait,
And their souls stir you at the strait

Return from the sweetest spring to a land
where a sorrowful, full-throated singer laments his burning thirst.
Where a grieved, moaning lover complains
