1. Oh my beloved, woe to me if
Tomorrow, without you, sins become dear

2. In my chest for you there is a fire
That almost melts purity

3. Passion overwhelmed me the day
Its claws reached out to you, O people

4. They sought you out in vengeance, hands wherein
Are talons and vipers alike

5. After you, I realized in my solitude
That in my homeland I am a stranger

6. My youth has passed and I wished for it more
Than I heeded the approach of old age

7. The joy of life, had it persisted
And its goodness, would be my beloved

8. The lightning of wishes is deceptive, so much
Does its false promise tempt us

9. The stinginess of fate, had you but seen, is generosity
And its love, had you but asked, is true love

10. Blessed are you, O tearful eyes
Without you hearts would not have been quenched

11. I have regrets that my chest,
Capacious as it is, cannot contain

12. I confided the secret of my sorrow and they said
We love you - is it better to weep or wail?

13. A sea of tears in my eyes
Lit by the flames in my blood

14. It exchanged my joy for sorrow -
Woes that proudly flaunt their might
