1. Are you near me or far away
O you who wander happily in love

2. You are a day when you come it's a holiday
The heart welcomes you anew

3. My soul thirsts for the rose of your company
My eyes thirst for the light of your brilliance

4. Come closer quickly for your absence was long
And my heart overflowed with love for your meeting

5. O my passion it's Thursday
Among our days it's the white bride

6. It's adorned with moons and suns
And flowers of the most delightful soul

7. If you are absent from me your image
Comforts the soul and your rising

8. My agony if you're absent from me is your agony
And my misery from your aloofness is your misery

9. I look upon your image to seek your approval
For a heart that is pure of your disdain

10. And I confide in your hovering specter
So when I see it, it's as though I see you

11. And the sweet discourse, what is this discourse
It's agony and passion melted away

12. Each line in it, a breast of torment
Its command in the seduction of passion, irresistible

13. We are in July and dreams of trysts
Promises of my bliss and torment

14. If you are the reward for my longing
Giving my soul in love would be my answer

15. These trees in this garden
Have become, because of your harm, ablaze

16. If the leaf of reunion returns
The eye flourishes with elegant flowers

17. If only your days would return, O full moon
They are days of intimacy and joy

18. All that is in them is ever renewing
Rapture in the trysts and ecstasy

19. We spend the night blaming and faultfinding
It is sweeter than the melodies of delight

20. And our two hearts have questions and answers
Don't say that with reproach comes resentment

21. This life and all it contains is vanity
If it is devoid of the pure days of serenity

22. You are the one I love even if estrangement is long
All of us, O soul, in passion are equal

23. O beauty, it is the signs of beauty
If you abandon, you mean reunion

24. If you overdo estrangement, it is devotion
And it is legitimate in the law of love

25. The hours passed and the noble soul
Awaits the light from the beautiful soul

26. Don't say my waiting will be too long
I am behind you, for the promise, ailing

27. I am in my world a stranger to passion
Which has in this world no kin

28. All my days are worries upon worries
And storms from the enraptured heart

29. You return to the sands of Alexandria
With flowers of exquisite beauty

30. And carols of passionate fervor
When the waves rise during sunset
