1. A sickly whim came over me
It settled in my heart and stayed

2. Each day it afflicts me
With an ordeal when I wander

3. I burn at night with a fire
And it is truly knowing of me

4. How can I be miserable when He is pleased
While I weep silently

5. For misery He granted me life
So bliss cannot be hoped for

6. These are my complaints they have eased
For I am always submissive

7. O my heart do not oppose
I am a generous, noble man

8. True in love, just
I do not exaggerate, I do not blame

9. Do not help reject me
For forbidden hopes are a grave sin

10. Welcome me o my beloved
Affection is assured and general

11. Seek me at all times
I am aware and wise

12. See me with tearful eyes
My nights are hostile

13. Crying is my arrow, when
The wished for target appears, it hovers

14. Reproach me not, I have no fault
In what happened, I blame my fate

15. Indulge me even with a promise
From you though false and fleeting

16. Enchant me, disperse the clouds of
Sorrow so worries disappear

17. My chest is tight, take my matters
For my wound does not heal

18. And harmony has become doubtful
Of it I complain or blame
