1. My neighbor shuns me when he shuns me
And my neighbor's dogs do not befriend me

2. My neighbor girl teases me next to my house
And does not cover with a veil from my wall

3. She feels safe that when I come
I will not see her without her veil

4. Such was the way of my ancestors long ago
Inherited by the carpenter from the carpenter

5. Their way is my way though they have tormented me
As the antique is worn by the skilled
