1. I have no need for mediators regarding what I hope for
From your good opinion of me, for it is my intercessor

2. You have made the springs of your generosity my watering place
So it is clearer and more fertile than the springtime of my youth

3. And through you I have risen up and attained the loftiness I aspire to
Priding myself on your glory, not on the merit of my deeds

4. And an unjust fate has decreed my distance from you
And that I return, if I survive, to your side
