The ships of love have anchored at the harbor.
The ships of love have docked at the harbor
And you are impure silver that takes no enamel.
Yet you, unrefined silver, spurn the harbor

You have turned and changed colors so often, O you!
You have acted fickle, wavering, turning colors
The beloveds have departed, and you turn us away from them.
The loved ones sailed on as you twist and evade
