1. My heart proclaims its passion yet
my tongue falls silent when I meet him

2. My yearning sets sail in the sea of his eyes
Modesty compels me to be wary of him

3. Were it not for my shyness
I would kiss the letters of his name

4. I would adorn the gardens with my rosy cheeks
So he could revel in the beauty he desires

5. I ransom his heart - if only he had the courage -
To say "I love you" a thousand times, my beloved
