May I not live to see the day
my heart stops loving you.
May I not breathe the day
my heart beats no more for you.

Arike
You rebuffed robes of gold
for my stitched rags..

Arike
You chose not to sit on a stool of diamond
but to share my cracking floor with me
Arike mi
Only in my empty arms,
you find your solace.
You made a palace out of my no-good home.

Arike, riches shall come my way.
Fortune shall knock my door
and then, I shall drench you in wealth.

I shall love you till the evening of our lives.
I shall take your love to my grave.
