Missed the Saturday dance.
Heard they crowded the floor.
Couldn't bear it without you.
Don't get around much any more.
 		Hu' yupma'vo' jIHop.
vaS yav teb DI net joS.
vISIQbe'nIS bIDachmo'.
paw'taHbogh vaj ghom'e' vIchoS.
I was absent from the festival the other day.
It is rumoured that the floor of the hall was littered with debris.
I was incapable of enduring this, for you were absent.
I desert the warriors butting foreheads.
Thought I'd visit the club.
Got as far as the door.
They'd have asked me about you.
Don't get around much any more.
 		tach vISuchqa' vIneH.
'ach lojmIt neH vIghoS.
pa' pIj De'lIj mutlhobqang.
paw'taHbogh vaj ghom'e' vIchoS.
I desire to revisit the cocktail lounge.
However, I go only to the door.
There they would frequently request of me information concerning you.
I desert the warriors butting foreheads.
Lately, I guess,
my mind's more at ease.
But nevertheless
why stir up memories?
 		qaStaHvIS Hu',
jIHvaD jotlaw' yab.
DaH rojwIj vItu'.
qatlh vemnIS qunmey qab?
During recent days,
my brain appears to have grown calm.
Now I have found my peace.
Why should bad histories be awakened?
Been invited on dates.
Might have gone, but what for?
Awfully lonely without you.
Don't get around much any more.
 		bang vImojmeH mura'.
toH, qatlh nurwIj vImoS?
reH jImobqu' bIDachmo'.
paw'taHbogh vaj ghom'e' vIchoS.
They order me to become a lover.
Well! Why should I compromise my dignity?!
I am always very much alone in that you are absent.
I desert the warriors butting foreheads.
