1. Lips and chin and mustache,
A cup and wine and love,

2. And he fought me with spears
That did not satisfy me in war,

3. Born only to beauty,
Of noble lineage,

4. He laughs from the dimples
Where bees were stung,

5. No sooner did his mouth protect me
Than he insulted me and plundered,

6. And walked only swaying
While my heart fluttered,

7. Is there any way to consent
O you who blame without cause?

8. You deny me though my murder
Is caused by your own hand,

9. Why should I weep for my killer?
Oh, what wonders can men do!

10. As if when my blood
Poured onto my tears,

11. O trustee of the faith,
Beware of beauty and gold.
