1. Who is there for a yearning heart that longs
Its longing inflames it, and prolonged separation pains it

2. My longing has lasted long for my homestead
Would that I knew, will there ever be a reunion?

3. Such is my fate, it has left me with her
Of pearl necklaces and bracelets

4. May God unite me with you soon
Before long, and free me of my shackles
