1. I will embark on the sea of passion,
Either singing or drowning.

2. When our reproach darkened,
A sunset glow appeared on his cheek.

3. The wine of youth was pure
Above his cheeks, so that sweat was the bubbles upon it.

4. To God I complain, for how many incidents
Has he who loves flown into dangerous endeavors?

5. Weak before his eyelids and love,
If only the weak one would melt for my weakness!

6. And harsh before my agony and union,
Neither has that softened, nor has this happened.

7. And watery before his face and eyes,
While this one stayed, that one poured forth.

8. And fiery on his cheek and hearts,
He kindled it for others, while I burn.
