1. You draped your shawl over your cheek
So its greenness put grass to shame

2. Your cheek is like a rose on its stem
And your shawl like leaves round the rose

3. The rose needs rain to flourish
And your waist needs a belt

4. This knot is a handful from my hands
And those tears are passion's rain

5. An apple drove Adam out
Of Paradise and immortality

6. Yet I keep eating apples from my paradise
My apples never leave me
