1. I was faithful in loving you
Until I became sleepless in my grave

2. I made myself devoted to you
Yet I see not that you keep my love

3. For your sake I sacrifice my mother, father and soul
O my hope, loneliness and intimacy

4. How much misfortune and unluckiness have I endured
That you may one day appear with good fortune

5. My heart beats for none but your love
And my eyes shed tears for none but you

6. So hurry, like the early downpour when it pours
You'll find none as true to you as I after me

7. What can the curly tresses that please you avail
Beyond my love and passion for you?

8. If my soul's sacrifice redeems you
Then confide in me, none can rebut

9. I'm amazed at indifference and aloofness
Deviating from traditions of loyalty

10. Come, let's spend life in union
For death separates us with barriers

11. Don't blame me for tears and sorrow
For some of my love for you makes me sad

12. Lovers get nothing but pain
So why blame me if I cry in earnest?

13. My eyes freely shed passionate tears
Cooling the heat of fervent longing

14. Nothing remains of me but my remaining tears
Overstepping the injustice of love, or you'll find me

15. As if I passed the night under soil
A nightingale on a moist branch

16. Stirred by sight of his beloved's grave
He kept weeping at her loss in passion

17. You neglected, you neglected, while I was faithful
Let the garden of life be desolate after me

18. You answered another suitor when he called
I have no alternative to the calamity of loss

19. I say while my soul is most miserable
And my eyelids sting with tears

20. My life became a flood overflowing
A martyr to love, killed by separation
