1. Your absence has left my soul bereft
When, O heart, will you remember and flutter?

2. It is not because of me I am restless
But because of the gaze of one caring

3. I fear for you, without you I would not
Fear most of what I now fear

4. As you leave behind the coolness of drink
Fearing thirst lest the sun should rise

5. If our foe rejoices in our estrangement
We shall meet again, his spite defying

6. However much you know, feign ignorance
For the lover, though unhappy, is blessed
