1. You lead the branches
Without pretense

2. And your rose cheeks rule
Over all flowers

3. And all love is passion
O heart, beware!

4. Of rejection and estrangement
The reward of risk-takers

5. O heart, if you have loved
And returned regretting

6. You started complaining of what I did
No one has sympathy for you

7. You saw the right course first
And the humiliation of the longing one

8. How much I advised you and warned you
If only you would understand

9. Turn away from your beauty
And write it down

10. And spend the nights awake
Calculating and guessing

11. Wandering, distracted, and restless
O Lord, make it easy!

12. And have mercy on the sleepless lover
It's maddening
