1. I had barely connected my soul to her longing
When my eyelids cast their gaze upon her

2. Caution did not prevent her from a tender glance
Through which she perpetuated her passion and tears' outpouring

3. O you who are beauty incarnate
Dawn with its splendor and bloom with its freshness

4. Indeed, I - though I have not burdened the lover's soul -
Fear for my innermost being from her long sighs
