1. The parting on the day of farewell at dawn's first light
Grieved for you, with a heartfelt sorrow.

2. The raven's cry conveyed to you her agonizing separation,
Yet you remained unknowing.

3. I was stunned - had it not been for a glance that passed by,
And I would have been silent - had it not been for a falling tear.

4. It was as if, when I tread the burning embers of passion,
I walked on fiery coals.

5. My limbs bloodstained, from his union at dusk to dusk,
Until his beauty adorned me, after estrangement, like the ruby hue of wine.

6. Never did I think that I would be forever
Sweetened by the honey of love.

7. It was as if the virtue of our blessed seclusion
Was that meeting openly exposed.

8. No doubts nor approach, nor kisses on the lips -
For to draw near one who fears the consequences

9. Is like coals: the kiss like separation, the union like estrangement.
