1. My God, how happy you made me, my lady
With this meeting after the long absence

2. In all those I loved, I did not find
Except your love first, oh my wish

3. Do you remember the love story and what
Happened to us, all is in my mind

4. It was in the summer now passed
Oh my darling and my temptation

5. Do you know, my beloved ransom
Like wine that in the winter's onset

6. I will reach twenty in my youth
While you are still just twelve

7. And now, oh passion, so know
That if I have withered some withering, and your rose

8. Has not ceased to belong to beauty
You are my enchantress and my paradise

9. None can equal you in beauty or
In the excess of passion and folly of youth

10. Do you remember what happened that summer
Of the grudge of anger, not the grace of favors

11. When you gave me, that the discord between us may clear
Your necklace, one night

12. So there were before me three nights
I spent without neglect

13. Sometimes pressing it to my chest in fear
Of losing it, and sometimes to my kiss

14. And I do not forget that wicked she-devil
Who accompanied us for comfort and service

15. She was evil for us that
Day, and it was truly a day of vengeance

16. When you, pearl of Andalusia, the
Beautiful, killed two without mercy

17. Killing the youth in his joy and at the same time
Killing the husband, that old man, killing jealousy

18. But beware, my pearl
For this passion is the passion of delirium

19. No matter what they say about it, it must
One day return to that slaughterhouse

20. For a heart that has housed you, oh my soul's wish
Tomorrow will be wide for other youth

21. And what can I say, and the world is such
Among people, it flows by divine decree

22. And how can I withstand waves, when
They have followed each other, and I am no lord of might

23. So close your eyes to me, and restrain
Your hands from me, and enjoy my company

24. Farewell, my soul with you, my lady
This is the way of creation in the turbid world

25. The wings of time leave nothing of
A summer or one pure in the dappled place

26. For life and its times
Will go like the going of a feather

27. So too hopes and fame and
Love, however much one tastes in love

28. And you, after all this,
Do not remember some of that story
