1. Your forehead shone like the dawn in your care
And your lips bloomed like a flower in your softness

2. I love you, beautiful one, with an intimate love
With intimate love though parted, it laments its misfortune

3. That whispering is but yearning
For the nest suspended on the boughs

4. Don’t you delight me with a radiant smile
May God bless it, pure and bright

5. You’re a young girl and I a young boy
So why does my youth grieve for your youth?

6. My soul yearns for you that you may yearn
And my eyelids weep that you may see their weeping

7. Won’t you look on me with kindness?
Won’t you be gentle with your afflicted one?

8. Let us blend our tears, eye to eye
And my heart in distress finds your comfort

9. From your sweet lips I have but one hope:
A revelation of your union or consent

10. I love you, my angel, and my love
Is but a revelation from the angels

11. So how could it bring me ruin
When angels seek not to destroy?

12. If I had the choice between my joy and sorrow
I'd enter Hell and kiss your mouth
