1. Slow down, oh my heart
For love has led you astray

2. And you can no longer be consoled
If only you wouldn't overflow tonight

3. For between the heart and the eyes
Was a war of words

4. It reminds him and makes her cry
For heaven's sake it's trouble

5. I have been excessive in my love
As the youth tends to be

6. And I purified desire into love
With one who misguided me into isolation

7. So from him came indifference and distance
And from me pardon and closeness

8. If I were to reproach him one day
His stubbornness would increase

9. And though I sent him my every effort
My letters were lost to him

10. So patience, oh my heart
For what love does

11. For those it leads astray err
And every lover sins

12. So my lord be good
To one who has done no wrong

13. If you forget me, my heart
You are the soul and the heart

14. And if you prefer to distance me
And love does not intercede for me

15. Then your punishment is just
And your torment sweet
