1. O allure of existence, peace
From a yearning, love-struck heart

2. If passion wills, your ribs would contain
Wanderers craving your youth

3. So have mercy on a lover tortured by passion
With burning, unending love

4. The rose's glory fades and so
He hopes beyond hopes to attain his wishes

5. Oh, if time would allow us to meet
And overcome the years that parted us

6. You'd see, as time slips by forgetfully
We've spent sweet, gentle nights

7. When we shared joy and delight
In salvation from malice and safety

8. We exchange sweet, gentle words
And pluck ripe wishes effortlessly

9. My friend and constant companion
Help me with what you both can

10. I seek respite for my patience is spent
From recurring pangs and throbs

11. I want a friend who'll precede me
And share my burning passions

12. For the wounded surely aid their brethren
And console the anguished in their sadness
