1. A charming specter visited you in the garden
Tormenting me with bliss, and my soul yearns

2. O one visited by the fraudulent specter
Who stayed my companion, what a fine companion

3. O bliss, my misery has lasted long with you
O bliss, I’m burdened with more than I can bear

4. One may be granted enemies from himself
And suffer pain from a loyal, loyal friend

5. No good is in loving you, I am
Asleep yet captive, weeping yet free

6. Oh suffering, from the heat of this passion
As if there is a blazing fire inside me

7. Oh anguish, from inner sorrow
And sigh after sigh comes a gasp from me

8. My heart leads to none but you
As if the path to all else is closed off for me
