1. O guide of the rose bouquet for us
Flowing in its old ways

2. Time has cast its glance at your loved one
With a momentous event in its eyes

3. So when will it be pleased with a good sight
As fortune favors beauty for the glance

4. You gifted it like blushing cheeks
Cheeks white as if tear-stained from shyness

5. A beautiful woman came in her clothes
Strutting in the best apparel

6. In a season not her own as her days went
And time is fickle in its rounds

7. As if she was alone, apart
From her kind, walking slowly

8. I got from her, while she was present
Nothing but scent and kisses

9. So I knew your scent from her fragrance
And understood from her your good taste for me

10. How many gifts you have for me I won't deny
Thanked the likes of which before me

11. A maiden whose appreciation outpaces
My thanks as she bolsters my hopes

12. You reminded me of youth's morn with her
And seasons of joy and coquetry

13. Days when I heed no reproachers
Nor listen to blame

14. So today the wheel of fate is firewood
Lost, and the sun of life in its sunset

15. No pleasure remains for me in enjoyment
I am busy with crowds and cares

16. I cry over this life and its joys
And the nearing of my death's distance

17. So pull the train of happiness my excess
In the shade of a soft, green life
