1. The night came to me with its tears,
Oh dove, lament and cry with me,

2. Lament and explain my sorrows,
For inside you is what is inside me,

3. Your longing stirred you to grieve,
And you complained of passion with me,

4. I cry with tears for your grieving,
While you, oh dove, cry for my weeping,

5. After loved ones tormented us,
Patience is the cure for you and me,

6. The passing days will reunite us,
If there is life remaining for patience,

7. If you find in me traces of my love,
Passion's reign is my state,

8. I have taken tears into my heart,
And keep my sorrows hidden inside.
