Translation is by Chris Vancil: 

When she started to walk with a swinging gait 
Her beauty amazed me 

I have [bad word] prisoner of her eyes 
Her stem folded as she bent 

O my promise, O my perplexity 
Who can answer [bad word] 
About love and suffering 
But the beautiful one? 

translation is by Mimi Spencer & M. Metal: 

When he (she) appeared, undulating, ah! mercy! 
My love's beauty charmed us. 

With a look, a wink, the lover captivated us; 
When the brach swayed gracefully, we were devastated. 

My promise - O my puzzlement! 
Who can sympathize with [bad word] of love, 
Except the King of beauty?
