1. My heart fears though you are able
Teach me to shoot, then take your leave

2. In my depths I see the walls crumbling
While you're fortified behind barriers

3. With coquetry you shred my heart to pieces
And dress the face of my proud thoughts

4. You disappear a fighter, and return a child
Who kisses my eyes, and says: I'm here!

5. I came to you carrying the gentlest nights
Searching in you for a breast for an insomniac

6. Afflictions and wishes contend within me
Feelings mingle with feelings

7. And I glimpse from afar a thousand fires
So I embrace them, tempted by danger!

8. Are you a sorcerer? What passion cast me
Mooring my vessel with a poet's ropes?

9. Awaken, take my haze and wait for me
I will wipe all passersby from your eyes

10. For in your eyes I've come to love my death
Yet you, despite your death in me, persist

11. How can I gain security from your piety
When you are debauched, shunning those who adore you!
