1. My heart is confused and wavering,
My patience over its effects will fade,

2. I have endured many cold nights for him,
And perhaps the wind has outrun its course.

3. They left you and loaded you with sorrow,
Bearing what neither benefits nor harms.

4. They planted in your heart his love and being,
When the times had passed with no savings or glory.

5. I bid them farewell as they departed,
My tears warning of the pain of separation.

6. And I looked upon those cheeks and their beauty,
Like gazelles, an alluring doe, kohl and dark eyes.
