1. By your life, I still swear affliction,
And without you, joy is denied my heart,

2. Except by your tomb, for the wanderers,
When a companion tires, and lays down his song.

3. And what increases longing with you,
Is the yearning of maidens, and tender love.

4. I have endured with myself the turns of fortune,
And all my life is but turns, and news.
