1. My love for you, my moon, my beloved
And your memory in the darkness of my night, my companion

2. Has filled me with passion but you have distanced yourself from me
And I have nothing but my tears as a confidant

3. How often the flirts have asked about my words
I told them of the old covenant

4. Why do you ask when I have tears
That tell you of the great news

5. So my tryst and my watcher and my body
Are sick, sick, sick

6. A generous one who did not refrain from affection
So I inclined to praise my generous master
