1. I melt in love, yet the one I adore
Treats me with estrangement, and my heart grows so sore

2. My gazelle of the meadow, enough! I'm lovesick
Tell him my longing has reached its utmost peak

3. Though he denies my love, and causes me pain
My profession of passion for him is not in vain

4. I confide my affair, but heedless he stays
And cares not for my love, just passes his days

5. For unrequited love, death is the best fate
When one's beloved does not reciprocate
