1. The nights I despise are those spent far from you,
While the nights that bring me joy are those by your side.

2. In your company they brought laughter, by God's grace,
Now, without you, by God, they bring me to tears.

3. Oh, your distance is the epitome of yearning,
From the depths of Egypt to the heights of Gerona.

4. I confided to my hearing your name spoken softly,
So here is my tear, no longer a hidden pearl.
