1. The lovesick man hopes for recovery, yet
The lovesick man has no hope for healing.

2. If my sickness was for love, and he's saying:
Then my peers among men are few.

3. I have no need to conceal love
And my every state reveals proof of him.

4. Can love ever leave my soul
As though it had never found a way in at dawn?

5. It's as if, when I recalled your parting,
Sorrows walked into my mind at dawn,

6. So I do not stop complaining of passion
And if I complain of it, I know not what to say,

7. And before my affliction with love, I see no difference
Between writhing in anguish or enjoying union,

8. Glory is but a consolation without love,
And every love captive is disgraced.
