1. I took to counting my days
And looking for news of you eagerly

2. And asking my days about you
So by estrangement who has commanded you

3. Years I spent in love
Until love becomes exhausted

4. If passion is a sin
Then my beloved is that sin

5. A beauty I will not name
For passion has confused me about him

6. I drank wine from his mouth
So I lost my way in craving him

7. And stay up through his nights
A beauty his face like the moon

8. And in his glances is magic
And in his tenderness is the command

9. That I passionately love him
