I gave my wounded heart free rein.
I gave the reins of my wounded heart
A wide, dark-eyed beauty—her glances whisper of my death.
To a dark-eyed beauty whose glances hint at slaying me.

I did not willingly surrender my sorely wounded heart;
I did not willingly part with my wounded heart,
but I ransomed my soul with my heart.
But with my heart I ransomed my soul.
Sol 6.1
