1. I left, my heart aflame with longing for her
Burnt by her sighs and moans of sorrow

2. I'm scorched by the fires in my soul, drowning
In this agony and torment, forlorn

3. O He who decreed our parting, have mercy
And bring us together again, make peace

4. That we may revel in the joy of reunion
And dry are my ever-flowing tears of grief
