1. My eyes caught a glimpse of him passing by
So it unleashed a shower of flowing tears

2. His virtues have passed in the wake of his glory
The moon passes fleetingly across the celestial sphere

3. Girded with a sword, his gaze not on me
Has not the gaze's sword been enough for me?

4. Two polished blades, each with a cutting edge
One for another, the other, my heart, for you to ravage
