Obv.
1 I scorn the girl who does not adore (me),
2 I have no desire for the girl who does not play up to (me),
3 I shall not give her (my) allures!
4 I shall stand over her!
5–6 Talking in order to disagree - why does it exist?
7 Shall I give my love where the heart of darkness is?
8 No one can control [me/it]!
----
9 Break off, leave! You ma[ke me speech]less,
10 (there is) not much to talk (about)!
11 What I said is said and [...]
12 I will not ch[ange it for y]ou!
13 The one who [lies down] for a woman,
14 is (nothing but) a weevil of the wall!
15 If he does not th[rive],
16 he is no match for a man.
----
17 You(f.) were born the daughter of a substitute,
18 with no dowry!
19 You have a mole on (your) forehead!
20 As long as you show no respect, pu[tting yourself] to shame,
21 I shall tell you where your (right) place is!
22 You do not listen to me, you.
23–24 (By) following your heart, mounting the clouds,
25 you keep chasing lovers away!
----
26 This goes over (the limit)! Where is the source of your rebellion?
27 Ask the previous women!
28 (You are) like a field of salt,
29 (can I) be happy with all (this)?
30 I was happy with the fruit,
31 (can I) be happy with all (this)?
Rev.

34 The loved one [...]
----
35 You should not put [...]
36 To your canal – no one will come near it!
37 Your lord, your task –
38 do not place (them) in the salt!
39 your field is all too well known!
----
40–42 The (fact) that you did not bring for me (good) news from
your womb, as a baby of men – should I swallow (that)
potsherd?
43 I will release the bitch!
44 One who bolts down a stone in order to release you,
45 when would he have his word?
----
46 Verily, you, when (somebody) came near [you],
47 you were convulsing like the goddess Belili,
48–49 you were dancing at dawn (instead of) sleeping.
50 You are imposing grief on yourself!
