1. You blame me more, had you found me obedient,
And you advise me, had you found me listening,

2. You provoke wounds in my broken heart without cause,
And you make tears flow from my eyelids.

3. You knock on me with reproach, on unhearing ears,
That do not hear rebuke and reprimand.

4. Say to the one who deserted homes and meadows,
And intended hearts for us and ribs.

5. The censurers know that by reproaching me,
I only increase in love and yearning for you.

6. Leave them be, for if they saw you once,
We would have all shared love for you.
