1. He turned away and left
Angrily, like a gazelle bounding through empty space

2. I could not restrain my tears
The day he turned his back

3. At times he would be pleased, then
I would find him resentful

4. He was not fond of any
Other than me, but he has now turned away

5. Blame me, the blame is right
For love is destiny's decree

6. I found no one but my love
To replace my beloved

7. So bear it, O my heart, for
I do not complain of the pain

8. If only he had, could I
Forget what has passed

9. And he had come to me with
An endearing name, ecstatic

10. And fallen into my arms
Responding with pleasure
