1. How I love you, a flutter of my heart
My soul set alight by the darkness of the present

2. And a sleepless apparition of you called me
How could I not love the fantasy of one who keeps vigil?

3. You, O my soul, are the joy of my sight
You heal me with intrepid love

4. No torment of passion can touch us
Love has triumphed over the cruelty of the betrayer

5. If only we could live for the sweetness of desire
And sow longing in a fragrant breeze

6. We’ll defeat the envious, wishing them
Nothing but worry and a wretched fate
