1. My heart has become weary with friends
But I was never one to abandon

2. If sadness befell them, I wept for their sake
Or if good news came, I arrived congratulating

3. They change, while despite the pain, I
Cling to the bond of affection between us

4. I fear their harm upon me, yet I
Remain, despite their hurts, composed

5. Each day I face from them
Betrayal, and my memories drown in tears

6. I treated them with my nature, and folded within
My side a heart that began to beat wearily

7. My fault is that I exceed in my kindness
And the kind ones are always so

8. Enough for me is the purity of my conscience and its clarity
And to You, Lord of the Heavens, I complain
