1. You left me to the harm of rejection, and slept
through my vigil and night for you is a safe night

2. My regret is my companion, and separation accompanies me
And illness is my fate, and passion is my ruin

3. And when the singer sings zealously, his melody
transports me while my torment and grief remain

4. You spend the evening safe from the pain of separation
While I spend the night, other than safe
