If you love me, sweetheart, if you love me
Compare me not to the sun or the moon,
Compare me not to Aphrodite or Hathur,
Tell me not that my eyes and my lips
Remind you of Cleopatra or Isis.
If you love me, sweetheart, if you love me
Look beyond my eyes and my lips.
If you love me, sweetheart, if you love me
Love me not for the visions that you see
Or the images that you view about me.
If you love me, sweetheart, if you love me
Love me not for them, or for you, but for me.
