They betrayed, while I remain true to the pledge they made.
They betrayed, yet I keep the covenant they made
Oh, if only they felt some of what I feel!
If only they felt some of the pain I bear

How swift was their betrayal and their turning away
How quick they were to betray and break their word
From faithfulness—and they did not fulfill what they promised!
Failing in loyalty, their promises unfulfilled

Was it with betrayal that they repaid me, though they knew
With treachery they wronged me, and yet they knew
That I had endured what no one else had endured?
None suffered as I did, none so bereaved

How I ache for them! For when I remember them,
I grieve for them, as memories bring back
My sorrow will not end until eternity ends.
Sorrows unceasing, pain without an end

Yearning has taken hold of my heart and my liver,
Grief took hold of my heart and my soul
So with it I have neither heart nor liver left.
Leaving me no heart or soul that's whole

Who can bar sorrow's path to a lovesick man
Who can stem the flood of anguish from one in love
In whose entrails the paths of longing blaze?
When longing's paths run through his heart's abode

My heart is like a captive, surrounded
My heart's a captive, surrounded by a host
By an army of anguish whose numbers cannot be counted.
Of sorrows beyond count, beyond any road

Passion drew death's swords, making them flash
Love brandished swords of death that brightly flashed
Against life, so patience and fortitude grew hard to muster.
To take my life, but patience and composure prevailed

Your memory makes the heart swoon whenever it passes
Thoughts of you make me faint when they cross my mind
Through the heart, because of what comes upon my heart on your account.
With all the pain for you my heart must bear

It is as though Time set us against each other out of envy,
As if time made us envious of each other
And God's blessing is attended by envy.
Though God's grace comes with envy, we know

Because of you I was wretched, and because of you my enemies were happy.
For you I suffered, while my enemies exulted in you
