1. Every night he would captivate hearts,
Eighty, nay ninety souls and more.

2. Smitten with one, then loving another,
Forsaking them as soon as dawn breaks.

3. My heart was wakeful before your love,
Playing and jesting with loving people.

4. When your love called to my heart, it responded.
Since then, I do not see it leaving your affection.

5. I cast away any estrangement from you, if you are untrue.
And if I find joy in the world with other than you,

6. Or if there is anything in all the lands,
That if absent from my eyes, seems good to me.

7. If you wish, keep me close, and if you wish, do not.
For I do not see my heart suited for any but you.
