1. For God, O mouth, your dimple is radiant
Are you a pearl, O mouth, or a loved one?

2. You reveal with your smile a gap between your teeth
Where the embers glow

3. The wildflowers around your charm
Are split-sleeved, embraced by the grass

4. O mouth, O mouth, you are a pearl
In the pure spring - what is the reason?

5. I sipped it, so I swooned, enthralled
No wonder at my ecstasy, no strangeness

6. May God have mercy, so I have no fault
A free man shaken by rapture

7. This is my heart - it complained and wept to him
What can I do, and my heart is pulled

8. My excuse, though no excuse in love for it
The judgment of chastity applies to it

9. Oh! Woe to me, and all feeling
Has yielded - no salvation, no escape
