1. My longing for you and my tears overflowing
And the glint of lightning from your forehead flashes

2. And your tender affection is sweet to me in passion
And my wish, O my soul, is that you believe

3. How many have blamed me who did not feel the pleasure
Of a teardrop in an eyelid flowing down

4. What would it be if I came to you carrying
My soul in my palms, though my elbow is not seen

5. If not for love embodied in my heart
Would my heart in your hands be torn apart

6. Be mine even if passion is anguish for me
In it you were pleased even if my heart aches

7. No blame that the lover favors his beloved
With kindness for in passion he is torn

8. So have mercy on my misery and let me be your follower
For with that life to me is more harmonious

9. And bestow on me a glance from one impassioned
Not a glance from a gloating blabbermouth

10. Though I pretended to be indifferent
So you’d be reassured and not see me sleepless

11. And I have given you all I possess and have
Nothing left but a heart beating for your love

12. So accept it from me if you are pleased with its devotion
For love has loved a heart that adores

13. And when I see you reveling in bliss
Your torment is sweet whenever I am torn

14. I have no life if I see you angry with me
Because I am luminous like the breeze

15. My master wait for me and test me awhile
You’ll find passion renewed that cannot be freed

16. And listen to my heart and hear its beats
Until you see it bursting from fervor

17. Bring me close and take from me passion
For my wish is to delight while your heart beats

18. If not for love my tears would not flow from my blood
And my night for your love would not be confined
