O my solace, come to my heart’s aid, or else
O Solwa, help my heart or else
it will melt within my breast—have you no chivalry?
It will melt amidst the bushes. Won't you pity it

Or take courage, O heart, and be patient a little while,
Or take courage, oh heart, and be patient a little
for perhaps a prayer of mine concerning you will be answered.
Perhaps my prayers for you will be answered
Sol 6.1
