1. I complain to you of yearning, you don’t deny it
Comes from me, and I find comfort – you know it too

2. And I beseech you – for eyes that you forbid
Sweet sleep, a heart that you knit together

3. So each day when cares disquiet me
A heart – for your distance – I put off consoling

4. May God not make desolate one who sees no one
Of all people, when the one who follows him is gone
