1. Were it not for your love and unwavering loyalty
My heart would have fluttered for another

2. And the heart you quenched
Would have smiled at whatever longing it wished

3. Eager for you while you dwelt within it
A burning ember flaming and glowing ever brighter

4. For fire loves to roar when you're gone, but when you draw near
It flees from its ferocity, now subdued

5. A heart that you dwell in, o you whom it adores
With breaths that forever rise for you

6. And perhaps the breaths of spring will restore it
And return its ways to me, and so it will come back

7. And return to you, for you are its beginning
Without you no echo would resound for it

8. I and your Lord are united in love for you
If there is unity in love, it is with you

9. I sing your praises and love leads me
To an endless summit of affection so far away

10. So keep my affection, for it is the dearest thing
That would perish without you and fade away
