1. O you who blame me,
You have caused me much grief and sorrow.

2. If only this deed,
Whether forbidden or permitted, would last forevermore!

3. By God, no love is sweet,
Unless it's forbidden.

4. The libertine says: the fairest reward
Is a boy in the prime of his youth.

5. Take the women and leave for me
Whatever they birth, if it's a boy.

6. Especially the youth among them,
Who is nearing puberty.
