1. O eyes that quench souls with nectar
And join a drunk who refuses to awaken

2. Intoxicate me always and exhaust
My passions with tears and fiery resolve

3. That is life's wine, he who has not tasted it
Once, is unfit for life

4. It is life's beauty, in joy and sorrow
And in drinking it, rapture and confusion

5. You are the one who my heart drank from it
Passion and torment and trembling

6. Oppress me as much as your oppression wills
And command beauty to be gentle

7. Torment me for I have wronged
Myself and truly deserved the punishment

8. So for this punishment I renewed my love
And broke a solemn vow

9. Many a night that bewilders the stars
In which the lost cannot find a path

10. It gathered me burdened with worries like a sea
That gathered the distant drowned in its depths

11. I think the Pleiades are wounds in its chest
And I see meteors as burns in its sky

12. In it, happiness slept a blissful sleep
While I sighed longing and sleepless

13. Wherever its darkness covered me at sunset
The eye of dawn saw me shining

14. I met it while thick
Then bid it farewell while delicate

15. It softened, dissolved and vanished
Leaving me no trace but a slight illusion

16. It remained slim and lean by my side
Like the red anemone grazing a twin

17. O you sleeping whom slumber makes happy
While my wakefulness still persists

18. If the sleepless were many like me
Happiness would be supreme and elegant

19. Her face's beauty evaded me openly
Not to be boasted of, and figure so graceful

20. Her mind which conceives the thoughts escaped me
A spirit, a body, and veins

21. Her rhymed prose escaped me
Does not string pearls on her neck harmoniously

22. Her gentleness which enlivens passion escaped me
And if it wished could revive concord

23. And establish hopes in the soul like light
That transforms seeds into delicate flowers

24. Charms that shackled my heart with them
And showed me, whenever I complained, disobedience

25. Every captive wishes to break free
And my misfortune to become untied
