1. They spread rumors between us until I was content
Then you became angry because I said "I love you"

2. And I committed no sin except that I am full of passion
And you are to me, beyond all people, the most beloved

3. And they said you will forget if distance comes between us
Oh, if only my home were closer to your home

4. Oh what grief if I plead for love
And you follow the rule of love and avoid me

5. So do not let those who gossip come between us
For they desire nothing but our separation

6. And if you could see what is within my ribs
You would see a heart tossing in fierce flames
