1. Do you understand what the south wind tells you?
Its language is nothing but gusts.

2. It says, I am the messenger to you in secret
With what my beloved has told me mouth to mouth.

3. I came and in my cloak is a conversation
That has a fragrance on my shoulder and is sweet.

4. So I was filled and I said in my delight and drunkenness
You have come with that which gladdens hearts.

5. Do you see that beloved who knows that when he is absent
Companionship is lost to me when he goes away?

6. And that after him my life holds nothing for me
And no share of the joys of this world.

7. I have been tested by him, the richest voice
That has wounds in every limb.

8. By the slender and fleet wild deer when it bounds
And what it nearly pierces with its shaft.

9. In my heart because of him are excess sorrows and passion
I suffer from him what the doctor does not know.

10. I say when my heart remembers him
Passion where there is a meadow and a hillock.
