1. O wanderer, gently
Love has left me no respite

2. Lighten your reproaches
And for God's sake leave me be

3. How can I find solace when
My heart lies murdered by passion?

4. "Have mercy my Lord!" I cried
"Spare me!" Then he said:

5. "Cover your secrets my friend
Lest your fervor exposes your shame

6. For death awaits the unwary
So spare me your blame and blameless be"
