1. I implore you, O cruel one
Have you forgotten your vows of love?

2. You have forgotten as if nothing was between us
No meeting that kindled my hopes

3. In your eyes I saw the fading of passion
And the lofty flame has died down

4. Do you not remember the vows of youth
And our sweet days of the past?

5. You, my dear, who rules my heart
Commanding and forbidding

6. The meadow brought us together at nightfall
In the shade of its lofty trees

7. I would confide to you the secrets of love
And reveal my fervor and longing

8. How much you used to complain of the agony of separation
And shed your falling tears

9. Like pearls, but their beads
Dry up in the heat of my breath

10. Our gatherings on the riverbanks
Are now desolate and empty

11. The meadow has withered, no flowers
No fellow bird singing joyfully

12. Its flowers ask about us
And the gentle passing breeze

13. Your love has stirred sorrow in my heart
Flowing painfully in my bosom

14. Yearning shakes me when I remember
And my dark entrails kindle

15. I see you in my wandering imagination
As if you are still true to me

16. So you are in my heart and thoughts
And in my eyes, close yet distant

17. Your lips, how they provoke passion
And dream of fervent kisses

18. Come near them, I will quench their thirst
While your eyes are languidly sleepy

19. The kisses of love intoxicate me
Fluttering on my devout lips

20. And I fall asleep dreaming of you
Lulled by your amorous gaze

21. How your glance makes my imagination wander
In its vast and distant horizons

22. Those moments of torment have passed
Leaving raging flames inside me

23. So patience, O heart, for life
Remains deceptive as ever

24. I have tasted the pain of fate and time
Yet still hope for loyalty from the unfaithful
