1. O eyes that stay up through the night in anguish
God has forbidden you from thinking

2. I am burning in the fire of my longing
While my companions enjoy themselves

3. And He whom I have melted from the love I found in Him
And a passion that knows not how to explain

4. If only they would allow me an hour
With my beloved, so I may steal a glance

5. It is not my fate in love to have the fate
That I may pluck the fruit and the flowers
