1. With my family and wealth have I been afflicted for love of her
She who dwells in my heart and soul

2. By God's majesty do I swear sincere allegiance
My love for her permeates my bones if only she knew

3. Yet I refrain lest slanderers attack me
Fearing to bring her harm or gain enmity

4. Her love a glory I cannot claim
They say, “He has grown hopeless and despondent.

5. He is lovesick and accustomed to her disdain."
When I saw people turning against her

6. I withheld my greetings though she was blameless
She knew my enemies would thus be placated

7. As though no bond had ever tied us
If she rewards her lover for his love

8. By God, my passion has long been spent
Else return my reason and bid me farewell

9. Give me back my heart and go in peace
For the embraces of the fair are forbidden

10. When I am drenched in the blood she made me spill
