1. Eyes like carnelian and rubies gleam,
Cheeks like roses, lips like wine.

2. Enchanting vision, bewitching mien,
Casting spells those eyes of thine.

3. If the sun turns back confused by you,
The moon's golden orb cannot compare.

4. Love may show me joy or sorrow.
Parting nor union soothes despair.

5. Thus all lovers in their sadness,
Sick at heart, their faces wan.
