1. My heart knew no hardness until your eyes turned harshly away
With the magic of your eyes I could not pretend patience

2. So now my patience has gone, oh woe!
Stop blaming, I'm infatuated, burdened

3. A hostage of passion, longing, and obsession
If only you would show me some kindness, O my hope

4. For my soul ransoms itself for your wellbeing
Yearning has ignited in me

5. The fires of my heart and kindled the heat of my breath
If not for you, I'd never have known love

6. For your love in my heart is firmly rooted
These are the first verses telling

7. Of the one whose love is my spirit and my intimacy
