When he went far from me and his aversion became clear,
When he left me, his rejection apparent,
And the one smitten by that figure could no longer recover,
Though love once ruled, its passion expired,

The king of passion rose, and his threat came true,
The king of desire ascended his throne, fulfilling his promise,
And love is an ancient inscription upon foreheads.
And love inscribed on my brow its ancient mark.
