1. My life is torment, my living a mirage
While you are my wishes, yet you are my torment

2. Wretched misery dwells within my soul
While you are the dew, the love, the gentle rain

3. I yearn for you with tender yearning
And desires and wishes incline toward you

4. How can there be consent and purpose amidst adversity?
How can there be a way when my passion is devastation?

5. You watered the clouds with the sweetness of your love
So excellent is generosity and pouring forth

6. You settled the world and spread radiance through it
And left my being so darkness prevailed

7. Your tenderness, my blossoming soul and my pride
Burdensome woes have heavily weighed upon me

8. I complained to you of a painful absence
And a night stretched on in estrangement

9. So be to me a breeze that blows comfort
To sweeten our life and drink

10. For you are life when we meet
And you are ease if flames are extinguished

11. To you belong my wishes, and you are in them
Radiance, life, springtime, melody
