1. Embrace me gently, lovingly
And support me, for I seek solace

2. Your sister the sun has reached with her rays
Our land, so send forth your imagination

3. Turn away from blaming me, for I
Do not act with blame, nor have I sought censure

4. If a heart is possessed by love
It is not easy to endure aloofness

5. O critic, be sparing with advice, we
Are a people who see aloofness as an enemy

6. Avoid blame, for I am obstinate
With pride in my youth and defiance

7. No matter how much advice you give
I only grow more distant

8. Once, let my heart break free
From my breast, towards its beloved let it flee

9. It is no disgrace that my heart moves toward her
Did not Adam go towards Eve?
