O heart, is love reserved for you alone?
O heart, has love ever stopped for you?
You squandered your days, companion of lamentation.
You wasted your days, the days of sorrow multiplied.

They have turned away from you, yet you still
They changed against you, and you did not stop
Keep love's pledges, your wounds bleeding.
Tending to the covenants of love, my wounds still bleeding.

Do you, whenever you recall love's days,
Whenever you remember the covenant of love,
Flutter like a bird with a broken wing?
You flutter like a bird with broken wings.

Will this sorrow not one day be relieved?

Grief destroyed youth's dearest hopes,
Longing grew dearer than the dreams of youth,
And left nothing but scant remnants.
And left nothing but the remnants of deprivation.

My youth is a ransom for her eyes,
My youth was sacrificed for her eyes,
And this weary heart of mine is freely offered to her love.
And here is my weary heart, open to her love.
