1. In sorrow like this, patience has betrayed me,
Parting with a beloved, while his burial shroud was prepared.

2. My liver is torn apart in the hands of anguish,
The earth split open halfway, and above the earth as well.

3. They tell me be patient after him, console your heart,
I said to them, I have no heart or patience.

4. A fledgling, still featherless, seized from the nest
By death and the grave before it could fully grow.

5. When I speak his name, passions are kindled,
Thoughts renewed, his memory reawakened.

6. I look around me, I see only his grave,
As if for me, the whole world is just his tomb.

7. You took flight to the gardens of eternity, my heart,
Leaving me no solace but the depths of your tomb.
