1. I filled my cup with tears
I cry into it my wishes

2. So do not think my heart
Has forgotten my memories

3. O you whom I fear for
From my agony and longing

4. Do not deny me, for I
Have loved in you my sorrows

5. I kept your love hidden
Lest I be tested by the envious

6. For you are, to me
The most beautiful in all existence

7. And how much I gave you my heart
And said my soul is yours

8. And still I am confused
By my love for you

9. You changed me with wishing
So it has become my nature

10. With what was lost from me
What have you gained?

11. Do not ask me of
What people say about us

12. All that I know
Is that we have loved

13. Even if I knew
Anything about others

14. How could I, when love is blind
My eyes from every living being

15. I still remember one day
I intended to abandon you

16. But your love was stronger
Than what I seek

17. And I went broadening my soul
With blame, abandonment and humiliation

18. Until I felt relief and the
Love returned, harder and sweeter

19. And here I am after the long sleep
And deprivation

20. I have returned, so welcome me
With a glimpse of tenderness

21. This is me so excuse me
If you get bored of my patience

22. For my state is not like yours
Nor my fire like your fire

23. O she whom I am jealous of
Of everything she sees

24. Every gorgeous beauty
Ends with her gorgeousness

25. Every love has a time
Like everything that perishes

26. But your love is above decay
And above time
