Why did your love become full of flaws
And you are obstinate1 and why the arrogance?
You see, [reaching an] understanding in love is needed
And love alone does not suffice2
[4x]
Sometimes I feel like I am being forced upon you
You come for one day, and for days you ignore [me]
The way you are will never change, forever messed up
One cannot be in love with a lover whose mind is superficial
[4x]
The problem is that [people] link me to you3
and the problem is that I live with you
My fear is that you will lose me along the paths 4
and then I come out empty-handed
[x4]
My thoughts are confused by you, oh lover
with you I am truly perplexed
I tried to fix you, oh flawed one
Treat me tenderly and stay away from impulsiveness
[x4]
1. I.e: stupidly stubborn/pigheaded. This literally translates to "and the/your head is stiff/hard"2. Idiomatic phrase here, literally: Love alone does not feed [you] bread3. This is not easy to translate and better explained. She says that although he is useless, people link her to him and see him as a man by her side/ someone who protects her and loves her,..etc when in fact he does nothing.4. Or: "My fear is that you will make me get lost along the paths", both possible translations.
