Now, looking at herself in the mirror she is despaired
Then, how proud she was for not proffering her heart

Look into the mirror but look carefully
You are up against your own enemy

In the mirror, she looks at her looks
Also, she looks that no one else looks

You might catch a glimpse of a forgotten face
You haven’t yet looked at the mirror intently

A problem you will face, you’ll find an equal there
Look into the mirror with caution and with care
