1. He did not tire of patience when you abandoned him
If his patience was of use, he would have walked your path

2. The nights roll by in longing for you, his life
And I see him forget them, but not forget you

3. Have mercy on me, o you who prolonged my affliction
O you who prolonged my affliction, have mercy

4. This estrangement burdened me with unending torment
And overwhelmed the one who adores you with passion for you

5. For I learned anguish from you after bliss
When you grew angry at me after your approval

6. Dry your tears, o sorrowful one, for they
Are nations that will make laugh the one who made you cry
