1. Love kept me awake, and despair made me restless,
Separation doubled my sorrows and grief,

2. And a soul in the love of my nights turned into
Tears that my poetry and essence rain.

3. I stay up with the stars while the universe slumbers,
Listening to my moaning with yearning and affection.

4. As if the night raven descended,
Bearing my soul and heart on its two wings.

5. We fold together the cheeks of the night in passion
And watch the phantom from moment to moment.

6. For you is life and what vigor remains in my body,
What blood, what spirit and corpse.

7. For you is life, so be generous with union, for what
Is sweeter than your union in my heart and essence?
