1. Oh nightingale, your melody has faded
No singer compares to you

2. I love no other, desire no other
None but you has trod upon my heart

3. You made me wait long, O love
If only God would test you with love

4. So you feel what I felt and found
No, by God, I wish you no return

5. But I've given my love purity
If only God would grant me your embrace

6. If only the blamers tomorrow were
To show their disapproval openly for your sake

7. If only the messenger of estrangement from you
Would publicly proclaim our suffering when we call upon you

8. So I may reward your love
And my night has no reward for me but that
