1. Does this book remind me of my love for you?
Your promises are sweeter words, if only they could speak.

2. Ask it, did anyone else sing to you but my passion?
And say anything but what I have learned from me?

3. Oh eloquent lute, sing to me
A youthful song, for youth makes the longing heart happy.

4. Youth wished and life brings gains,
How joyful is life for those who gain!

5. My love, I envied the lute when you pressed
Your lips to it. Do I have a moment with you like that?
