1. I clung to him like a branch with a lisp
Twisting past and cheek together

2. With the two of them my love for him grew
His abandonment stung upon sting

3. I said "Your disdain, are you aware of it?"
He said "No, by God, I do not perceive it"

4. I said "Look at me with your eyes" he told me
"With the soul, if you desire it"

5. I said "I sacrifice for you my soul, so do with it
O full moon whatever you wish and desire"

6. So he leaned towards it and bent saying
"How the lover clings to the sting"
