1. If you were not the best and most loyal friends
Whose pledges and intentions I believe

2. And caring, sincere lovers
Who never parted or separated

3. People of refinement, each of you
With a sweet, gentle, and kind nature

4. I would not have blamed or tomorrow
Let my pen speak out and accuse

5. But if you considered my state as one
Who handed you nobility to flourish

6. You would have excused, for a while, one in love with you
Who composed blame, not malicious slander

7. Can your friend distinguish, without your prompting
Except that I have come to steal from you

8. Or that what I have of yours is lost
Rather, sunk into the depths of a drowning sea

9. This which appeared to me with proofs
And evidence in matters that prove true

10. But that which I saw from you
Never happens to another, cannot occur

11. Since that is not of your virtues or
In your nature, or acquired by you

12. Rather, this is from my bad luck that appeared
And luck is the most coveted and propitious

13. Do not think that I had greed for you
Or that greed is my nature

14. No, by the right of life, that is not me at all
Nor does that reach the realm of my thoughts

15. And it is impossible for me to be content with what contains
Blame, even if I am about to suffocate

16. Rather, my sincere love called on me
To give you condolences and sympathize

17. And mourn with you, grieving the loss
Of one whose sorrow hurts me like you

18. Since our hearts are one in love
Nothing, by God, divides us

19. And by my nature I am not
Harsh, but love the gentle and passion

20. I have given you the finest first
From my heart’s treasure, like a shining pearl

21. If that blame from me upset you
And disturbed your heart and made it restless

22. Then let us describe life as loving you
Purer than limpid water, and most delicious

23. Loyal to keeping pledges, and my heart toward you
Is ardent, fervent, and desirous

24. And the carpet of that blame between us
Is folded, and that poem torn up

25. Blame between lovers is a salt
That flavors the taste of affection and makes it thrive

26. If the garment of love from me is torn
Threadbare for you, then I will sew it

27. Or if a tear appeared from you, I am yours
A forgiving friend whose door of blame is shut

28. And I want, if I committed a crime
Against you, wish for pardon and gentleness

29. And for you eternally from me, praise
And thanks, sincere and fitting

30. With the best greeting and excellent salutation
Whose fragrance is sublime among people
