1. I was tormented by my wretchedness and misery
Wearing a cassock with a cross around his neck

2. He came walking towards his church
I almost died of fright from seeing him

3. I said "Who are you, by Christ and the
Gospel whose pages extol him

4. And by the cross you worship
The full moon in the sky said "This is my horizon"

5. I asked where his goods were sold
He said "In my fire and burning"

6. Woe to me from the seekers of the detained
I lay in wait for him on his paths

7. O you who saw a lover, a stubborn brother
His deprivation grows despite his anxiety
