1. O youth that has come to me at the end of life
Reminding my heart of what was in childhood

2. I was burdened with a debt that stripped me
Allowing me to pluck fresh, blooming, verdant roses

3. And to sip sweet, fragrant, aromatic nectar
Oh, his beauty and the scent of comfort in his mouth

4. Like musk sprinkled on pure pearls
And how wonderful the down on his cheeks showed

5. It is the fence around a garden of flowers
A rose that doubles its love twofold

6. And a narcissus adorned with pendulous blossoms
In it is a subtle meaning that can only be grasped

7. By one who values intellect over superficiality
An affinity was confirmed between our souls

8. Thus we agreed on roses and on breasts
And in the embrace of our bodies you would see a wonder

9. Two, who to the observant eye, appeared as one
With him I had no need for any singing girl

10. For he who beholds the spring has no use for footsteps
