At the tamarisks, we have a tale of longing grown sweet.
With friends we talked of joy and days gone by,
I pledged to the beloved ones that it was true.
And made a pact to hold their memory.

Through it I have become self-sufficient and absorbed.
Now I'm content, I have no other care,
I know no one, nor any lineages.
I know no kindred and I need not try.
