He assailed me with arrows, while passion renews itself.
I was struck by arrows of passion though it renews
And my body bears witness through the sickness within it.
And my body bears witness to the sickness within

And I have kept making tears overflow, thinking they
Yet still I let fall tears thinking they would
Would quench a fire blazing in my breast.
Extinguish a fire kindled in my thoughts

And I did not know that the heart, the eye, and the breast
But I knew not that heart, eye and thought
Are alike, and that tears are sorrow rising upward.
Are all equal and that tears augment sorrow

So now I have no hope of solace, nor do I see
So I came to hope no longer for solace
An end to my tears until my life runs out.
Nor see my tears until life itself runs dry
