1. O absent ones, though you dwell in the depths
My heart is still filled with hope of meeting you

2. Do not think distance can diminish my affection
For the cord of love remains unsevered

3. Behold, the feast day comes and longing binds me
When will the day of reunion be, when eyes are painted?

4. The feast grows lovelier after seeing you
The soul rejoices and days celebrate

5. If circumstances have distanced us beyond our strength
Still our souls are joined by love

6. God will not leave my heart desolate despite its yearning
For you are in my prayers when I implore
