Leave a drinking companion who has gone far away and been confined.
Let the companion who grew apart and was imprisoned pass,
And pour me a drink, and drink wine like a flame.
Serve me a drink and let me sip a potion like ember.

My heart is smitten with a graceful maiden.
My heart is enthralled with a maiden returning at night,
Around her are swords in the guards' hands.
Swords are in the hands of guards surrounding her.

She does not sleep at night for love of me, and if
She can't sleep at night out of love for me
the turtledove sings, she visits in the darkness before dawn.
Even when the full moon rises, she visits in disguise,

And she calls my name whenever she stumbles;
She calls me when she stumbles,
And when they notice, she says, "Woe to him!"
And when they become aware, she says: Alas!
