Do not marvel if my heart took flight in love,
Do not be surprised that my heart has flown away in passion
For she had placed a fire within it,
For she has set in it a fire,

Until it turned to ash in that fire; then, when
Until it has turned in her to ashes, then when
Love blew upon it one day, it took flight.
The passion one day blew upon it, it flew away
