1. O angel of the past and symbol of my heart
How did you become a dwelling of corruption?

2. I've long searched for the other half of myself
Weeping in you, my passion and affection

3. You live, alas, what a life it is
It was not what I believed with conviction

4. Purity poured into your heart a soul
That would not even sell itself at auction

5. Do you remember when we
Were entertained by the melody of the lute?

6. And the song of the feast at night was a poem
Where love mixed its ink into my pen

7. Return to God, o cause of my misery
Do not darken my future with blackness

8. Lord, I was not a preserver except of a form
Do not muddy its colors in my heart

9. Return to love, do not remain far
How can life delight you without me?

10. And if you choose also
My tears will stand for this pillar

11. Oh Lawrence, how often I saw you in a dream
Nights like the blossoms of the valley

12. Your closeness adorns me with bliss
With the most beautiful children around you
