Te prometo el primer bocado de mi carne y el primer sorbo de mi vino.

Te doy mi espíritu para que podamos ser uno.

Por encima de todo, te valoraré y te honraré, en esta vida y en la siguiente.”

Every other song they sang was about him, praising his courage and prowess in battle as well as his handsome face and hair that was "black as sin".
