1. I have had enough of sorrow, for I have no friend,
And I am all alone, with no happy livelihood or rest.

2. It is as though I were an unripe fruit that time took for rotten
And so threw me into fire to purge me with chains.

3. I loathed my life and longed for my demise
When my teeth laughed, my eyes wept blood.

4. I grew weary of complaining of time and its people,
And a wretched fate from which I cannot be released.

5. I renounced the religion of love but for the sake of one
Whose glances ruled that my blood be shed.

6. I wrote him a message in tears
And he answered: “You are the murdered, no doubt.”

7. I removed my mask for you, O fawn of grace,
When before your eyes I was not pleased with exposure.

8. Just like the wild deer that grazes in the land
While you are the deer of intimacy that grazes in the kingdom.

9. A perfection desired by full moons and of which they despaired,
Deeming that, were you strung as a pearl necklace,

10. Your words are of pearls and your mouth is the same,
Your saliva of wine and your scent of musk.
