1. If the valley and the hills are empty of you
Then what is left for desire and its ways?

2. Within my heart a home for you now dwells
While your abode is the innermost heart

3. Or did my heart find in you a dwelling place
Now it is shattered by your departure

4. As if when I saw a fire blazing
In your valley like a burning coal

5. My love for you when love grows cold
Is refreshed when yearning renews

6. My love, my heart - both will always
Remain devoted, through night and day

7. My passion, though for you it burned
No more, and yet my love does not fade

8. Talk of you is carried on the breeze
Away from you, as breath it fades

9. Whoever pines for you as I have pined
Will despair for you as I despaired

10. From you may gentle breezes blow
And bring you joy and pleasant air

11. O you who rule the hearts, be kind
To him - have you no pity to spare?
