1. My friends, in my heart there is an ember of passion
That burns with intense longing for you both

2. My heart suffers what it suffers from fervor
And it is only because of you two and for you both

3. This heart has almost ignited its fire
And the heart of the youth is about to blaze

4. I have eyes flooded, but with their water
Tears pour abundantly and in pairs

5. And I excuse my eyelids for my overflowing tears
Even if they had spilled, it would be blood for missing you both

6. I plead for them to close, though in isolation
Perhaps an image of you will visit the eyes

7. You both avoided a painful separation
So you triumphed, my friends, and prevailed

8. Do you see someone struck by its arrow?
Who knows which heart it hit and what it aimed?

9. And here I am, until the period of pining is over
Justifying my heart with a perhaps and maybe

10. To your mention I listen when you are spoken of
And I recall a past time with you both

11. And a life we spent in bliss being near you
By God, no life is sweeter and more pleasant

12. No caravan passed me on its journey
From Rome except I asked the caravan about you both

13. And if the scrolls of passion are unfurled before you
In their folds, my greetings to you both
