1. I have such longing and nightly sorrow for you
That it has made my heart become like froth from love’s excess

2. My friends, do not think I have forgotten you
Though time has passed and farewells were said

3. If tears could swim, I would be the first
To swim in their sea of weeping

4. If I had known that separation would kill me
I would not have parted from you, but fate had me slaughtered

5. Oh cupbearer, stop the wine from one emaciated
Who is still drowning in tears at dawn
