1. Is the shedding of tears from my eyes out of grief
Though this would have been a kindness from you before today

2. As though on the day she turned away and would not speak to me
She was a wild animal, with a tender neck and shy gaze

3. When she raised her staff towards me, she was decked out
As though she was an idol, accustomed to being shrouded

4. Your wealth is yours, and your slave is yours
So is your torment upon me today diminished?

5. You forget my suffering when raiders attack
Charging out on their tall, swift horses

6. They charge forth, their saddles soaked
By the water, stampeded by the raging knights

7. I will stab with a clear, honorable blow
Her brother's hand will turn yellow, and he will be drained

8. There is no doubt that fate is fickle
It divides those united and familiar
