1. O you who are harsh with distance, how could you be so far
My heart is a lonely stranger, isolated

2. If today has betrayed me about you, I thought tomorrow
And where am I to meet you tomorrow

3. Tomorrow is an abyss for its viewer
In which suspicions nearly shiver

4. I peer into its depths asking it
Did eternity conceal your image in it?

5. O you who touched the wound, what have you done
With merciful lips and hands?

6. My ribs are filled with agony, yet it pleases him
That with this blaze, I feel cold

7. O you who left where we used to gather
And where my heart, a singing bird, sang you

8. Show me the people in their crowds
Did events split them? Or were they fortunate?

9. Did they disperse? Or gather together?
Did they cower in the valleys? Or ascend?

10. I am a stranger, come O my tranquility
For I have no one in their commotion
