1. O neighbor of the valley, you brought me joy
And increased my longing to see you

2. I spent my night drowned in bliss
Recalling dreams of you

3. I imagined your love and chastity
When I aspired to you and guarded your love

4. And how many regrets my heart has
Over memories that tell of the passing years

5. I passed by the gardens slowly
Where my visions used to dance seeing you

6. Green, the spring adorned them
I used to find you, a singing beauty, near them

7. I did not know the sweetness of embracing love
And the meadow intoxicated by your scent

8. I did not know, while yearning screams in my blood
Until your arm gently slowed me, restraining me

9. I cuddled the sides of your bend, drunk
Your embrace tickled my ribs, restraining me

10. Where are the anemones from you, when they swayed
And your cheek reddened more than their rustle

11. You entered my soft nights, and the darkness
And drunkenness tempted me with what tempted you

12. Love prevailed, and my feelings assaulted you
And I kissed you like the radiant dawn, your mouth

13. Speech faltered, and my heart addressed you
With the sweetest kiss, your lips

14. I achieved some of my hopes when I spoke
To your eyes in the language of love, your eyes

15. No past of time, no tomorrow
Oh, the intent of my soul, have mercy on me

16. Brown-skinned beauty, my question and joy of my soul
The days collected and there was the day I met you
