1. My Lord, I lived in bliss
A sweet paradise, ever joyful

2. Your servant complains to You of a fever
That has pierced him with a yellow sting

3. A fever fueled by kindling
That grows a thousand logs a day

4. I have dug a pit to catch my prey
And from it, I'm about to lose my patience

5. An illness of evil that made me see
My soul above the bed full of regret

6. Death stared at me from every corner
Painting it a million times

7. It set a trap for me but
I escaped from its trap by a hair
