1. I want you, wide-eyed gazelle
The phantom of doves on every cheek

2. I want you gone to a tomb
Sleeping in its soil forever

3. Reproach me not for what I desired
For in the custody of love is what I want

4. I want you in the notion of the grave a secret
That repeats your mention in my hearing

5. So shyness escapes from you while I come
To wet your cheek with my tears

6. And take the heart from your sides
And hide it in the gloom of my ribs

7. So I reach the heart of the beloved
And revive it with the heat of my sigh

8. And carry my lyre for singing
And cast my song upon love

9. And no nightingale trills to the melody
Save the full moon at night and the star

10. I want you buried in gardens
Scented by flowers' breaths

11. So the breeze plays near you
And birds sing near you

12. And the soil folds kissing your mouth
How much in the soil lies of kisses

13. But, but I envy you
Of the soil if it wants to kiss

14. So I do not accept other than your kiss alone
Forbidden to others is that union

15. For it I shed tears
And for it I spilled blood

16. For your union, your union with kisses
In it love stood with evidence

17. Perhaps the soil will include lips
That wished to kiss in life

18. But then did not achieve purpose
So achieve what you desire in death

19. For this I want you above existence
And above the elements of this sphere

20. While your soul wanders like a mirage
Including an angel that came in creation

21. So I take advantage of the kiss from it because
I will no doubt be that angel

22. I want you in the grip of death fallen
Because your life destroys me

23. And when that happens I happily finish
Because I will have reached the heart of my beloved
