1. I will distance myself from you all and tame my soul
And see how patient and determined I am

2. Either your love will leave me
Or my pigeons will keep me company

3. I have two friends of longing and tears
Who help sleep overcome my wakefulness

4. I say, when the southern winds blow at night
Over the alive and the dead, my greetings

5. Imagination used to help an eye
Restless with tears of sorrow

6. And if sleep returned, it would reunite me
But there is no way to sleep

7. Your nearness is in a passionate heart
And eyelids stained perpetually

8. And longing for you sees consolation
And patience from you is better than sins
