With forelock loosened o'er his brow here comes the wooer of the bride, seeking a husband for this maid, a wife for this unmarried man.

2 Wooer! this girl has toiled in vain, going to others' marriages. Now to her wedding, verily, wooer! another maid shall come.

3 God the Upholder upholds the spacious earth, upholds the sky, upholds the sun. May the Upholder bestow upon this maid a husband suited to her wish.
