1. Oh heart, you and my eyelids
Are warring as I see

2. Those forbid you tranquility
While you forbid them sleep

3. And I who have suffered in me
The harshest of torment from you both

4. Stay the tears and sorrow
For enough has passed

5. I will not take mercy from
The King of cruelty to force it

6. I met the blush of his cheek
So my tears dyed red

7. O sleepy eyes, passion
Has ruled that I stay awake

8. No lover found comfort
If attaining you could be bought
