1. A teardrop stands still in the eye
Neither drying up nor dripping down

2. And underneath it a heartache
Sighing deeply inside me because of you

3. Oh you who pierces your own soul
With the arrow of parting without realizing

4. You leave behind in Baghdad one who adored you
And tomorrow you will set out early

5. Each pining for the other
And every one of you drunk with love for the other
