1. I remembered those I love, and before my eyes
Were mountains of waves, dreadful sights

2. Sights of doom, rather centers of ruin
That scattered the composure of every thought

3. So my soul languished, though infirm
And my heart endured, though not patient with them

4. Remembering and yearning bring them closer to me
While desire tosses between me and those blossoms

5. To them, greetings from the heart of a young man
Faithful to the covenant of love, no betrayer

6. Grieving the loss of loved ones, helpless
Patient with the bitter tribulations
