1. Say to my love, bring me near
You are my soul and my life

2. And my concerns when I flee
And my words in my prayers

3. Love, stinginess is surely an evil
Not the way of the generous

4. So join me or leave me
As fuel for visitors

5. Love, if you wished we'd meet
Before death in gathering

6. And we'd live, you'd enliven us
With whispers and murmurs

7. I've shown patience but my patience
Is not everlasting

8. And I remembered you alive
So my tears flowed freely

9. And I forgot to forget
So sleep overcame me

10. And death's angel appeared
To overwhelm me, take me

11. My love has bewitched me
With wishes and promises

12. With favors and talk
Like the blossoming of plants

13. She has an eye and a lip
Of the greatest temptations

14. Beauty and charm
Like the charm of maidens

15. I'm one who God has tormented
With my love and the slanderers

16. So for my love is my lament
And to God are my complaints
