1. Enjoy farewell from your beloved
For after parting there is no reunion

2. How many draughts of estrangement and betrayal
And of rising fortune and abasement have I quaffed

3. How many a bitter cup from the hand of Death
Have I drunk, yet my arms reached not their fill

4. In all I suffered I found naught
More bitter than parting without farewell

5. By God, all unions, though long prolonged
End at last in separation's pang
