My life as ransom for him who, when he recalls my grief
When I remember my despair with myself,
And that I see no refuge, comes to visit.
And that I do not see happiness easily found,

He passes the night, while piety’s guard over him
He spends the night guarded by piety,
Turns away; then, when he sees the predawn hours, he is bewildered.
Yet when dawn breaks he is confused,

And I have a heart that, when it recalls the nights
I have a heart that when it recalls those nights
In which we attained our desires, takes flight.
We attained glory and flew high.
