1. I bear in love what cannot be endured,
My affliction has ripped open my heart with separation,

2. And kindled in my soul a fire of passion,
My chest is burned from its blazing flames.

3. My body and emaciation are in harmony,
My heart and consolation are in conflict.

4. My yearnings from my troubles are not hidden,
My passion, sorrow and longing are apparent.

5. When she who enthralls me weeps in the night,
My tears upon my cheeks begin to race.

6. Shall I cry because of her enchantment in the dark?
Or shall I cry, for that would be insincere love?

7. So leave me be in my gloom, O criticizer,
For your blame and my love are in discord.
