She is one girl
there is no one like her
She is more beautiful than any other
Look
she is like a star goddess
arising at the beginning of a happy new year
brilliantly white
bright skinned
with beautiful eyes for looking
with sweet lips for speaking
she has not one phrase too many
Her arm more brilliant than gold
her fingers like lotus flowers
with a brisk step she treads on ground
She has captured my heart in her embrace
She makes all men turn their necks to look at her
One looks at her passing by
This one
the unique one
* * * * *
You have changed me by your love
Thus say I in my heart
In my soul
at my prayers:
"I lack my commander tonight
I am as one dwelling in a tomb"
Be you but in health and strength
Then the nearness of your countenance
Sheds delight
by reason of your well-being
Over a heart
which seeks you with longing
* * * * *
I wish I were your mirror
so that you always looked at me
I wish I were your garment
so that you would always wear me
I wish I were the water
that washes your body and the necklace around your neck
I wish I were the earth
that u step on O my beautiful one
I wish I were part of your affairs
like a wife
With your hand in mine
your love would be returned
I implore my heart:
"If my true love stays away tonight
I shall be like someone already in the grave"
Are you not my health and my life?
How joyful are you
For the heart that seeks you!
