1. O neighbor's garden, your early dawn
My heart is helpless and without patience

2. She said "Do not enter our house
For our father is a fierce man"

3. I said "But I seek from him a kiss
With my sharp and ready sword"

4. She said "The palace is too hard for us"
I said "But I can overcome and conquer it"

5. She said "The sea lies between us"
I said "But I'm an excellent swimmer"

6. She said "My brothers are seven"
I said "But I'm a victor and subduer"

7. She said "A lion crouches between us"
I said "But I'm a barren lion"

8. She said "God is between us"
I said "But my Lord is merciful and forgiving"

9. She said "You have exhausted all arguments"
"So come when the sleepless one sleeps"

10. "Fall upon us like falling dew
On a night without prohibiting watchmen"
