Tell me, does the penniless heart ache with desire?
Or are his wishes but a fleeting fire?
Do the golden-hearted maidens see the worth
In the love of those who hail from humble birth?
We cannot match their lavish gifts and treasures
Our love is humble, and oftentimes without measures
Go, seek a love that's rich and grand
For the poor's love is not as you've planned
If all were to soar to riches up high
Who would be left to love the lowly and shy?
Give your heart to the ones who truly care
For love knows no wealth, no matter how rare
We hold no value for girls of impure souls
And yet, we're not so different from princely roles
When we gave our hearts to you, it was naivety
For true happiness in love, we do not see
I do not yearn to return to such as thee
Who left love to the poor's humility
To those with pure hearts and laughter's streams
Who still believe in love, despite life's schemes
Let us roll up our sleeves and take a bite
For lovers did not see our love's true light
May we find our dream girl, fit and fair
And may God bless our love with care
The cheerful laughter of the streams does call
To those who see the poor's love as worth it all
I do not yearn to return to such as thee
Who left love to the poor's humility.
