1. Have patience, my heart, have patience
For with patience, you are more worthy

2. Your wishes were white
But today they became dust

3. And you were like sweet water
And today you have become embers

4. Worry has overtaken you until
You became accustomed to worry for an age

5. And love is a heavy shackle
And we knew you were free

6. And love is humiliation, and you have
Never accepted orders for yourself

7. And people are treacherous companions
And you know people best

8. You accepted the love of a girl
Who makes ease into hardship

9. She has a barren heart
In which dishonor has settled

10. She intoxicates you with her glance until
You sway drunkenly

11. And the tears in her eyelids
Are a veil that hides a secret

12. And you see her smile as
If it were rose blossoms

13. Hiding malice from the eyes
From which ambitions are seen

14. So how can you love her
When you are of higher worth

15. You have longed for her
And never longed for another

16. Her love creeps into you
And fills your heart with magic

17. So how can you distance yourself from her
When you do not know the path

18. And you are a lovesick youth
Who will not recover from her love

19. My heart is dying, I have
Found my life bitter

20. I implore you by God, a soul
That lived with injustice since youth
