1. O moon whose setting makes me lovesick,
My horizon when it clears up,

2. Tell me, by the right of love—my darling—
Who showed your eyes my ruin?

3. You have ruled my soul, so be gentle with me,
Be easy in my affairs and steer right.

4. My soul ransoms you in passion, crazed,
Making me taste lost in the thickets.

5. If I break my vow to you all, estranged,
May God not loose me nor be kind to me.
