1. I love caressing narcissus
For your eyes, oh daughter of Columbus

2. And I crave carnations and kiss ruby
For your cheek and pouty lips

3. Do you miss me when I'm away from your sight?
I walked from dawn in silk

4. And darkness in all its horror
When you came to my sun

5. In my heart a heart unlike hearts
Happy or sad whenever you wish

6. I wanted to talk before meeting
But when I met you I was speechless

7. I spend the night with you in seclusion
As if you and I are in a gathering

8. If I possessed the ferocity of a bear
And gentleness of a rose I wouldn't lose hope

9. I decided to speak but my words failed me
And love had its way so I stayed silent

10. As if I'm not the prince of speech
Or master of exquisite rhetoric

11. Your glory and the night in its silence
No wonder I became mute

12. An hour passed while we were alone
We took off our clothes and pretended

13. That we were in a garden of bliss
And on meadows of lily

14. Such is the effect of passion on the soul
Like alcohol's sway on heads

15. Passion awoke in me and you
If stars slept we wouldn't doze

16. And every heart fiercely in love
Is humbled when you are pleased

17. She leaned toward me and I embraced her
Velvety smooth to the touch

18. Chastity is in her coldness
And refusal in my sneeze

19. I said to her, my palm in hers
Speak openly or whisper

20. Is love a trial or a gift?
She answered, be patient and don't lose hope
