1. My ribs yearn for your union
And with your sweet memory my affliction grows

2. My eyes delighted in some of your beauty
So love spread through all of me

3. Dreams would comfort me with your image
Until after that you denied my longing

4. So sadness dried my eyelids and haunting filled me
When thinking of you and my return

5. Oh you whom love honors yet humiliates me
Be gentle with my humiliation in love and submission

6. I have returned, my loved ones, from all others to you
For as long as I live, I will not cease my return to you
