1. I kissed her and smelled a red rose
And held her tight like a green branch

2. When I breathed, I quivered, and when I breathed in
The violet knew how much my clothes were scented

3. So I remained to this day from her breaths
Loving the violet, hoping it will blossom

4. She placed her hands on my heart, affecting
It, and returned the fingers reddened

5. On it she had written her love’s commandments
Ten, and made her fingers into lines

6. She glanced at me and let down her tears
A star, so I saw Pleiades in the ground

7. And on the rest of redness in yellowness
A tear flows zigzagged and yellowed

8. So I saw her eyelashes through her tears
Like a diamond under light, shining bright

9. And I started, with my lips, to sip it as
The sun sips the dripping dew

10. And she started to address me and blink
So I saw my heart broken by her blinking

11. She says, woe to me from your farewell, O youth
Why didn’t you have mercy or delay the departure

12. Oh, if only my heart never opened to love
Or there was nothing in the world that strained the soul

13. Since there is no more joy in her beauty for me
For the absence of a full moon in my heart that darkened

14. Nature itself is beautiful with the beloved
And I love it as it contains an image of him

15. Parting has robbed me of a quick reunion
Taking away my sleep, so how will destiny come

16. So I answered her and I put my arms around her neck
I must go on and cross the seas

17. My soul refused but the heights, do not fret
About the matter of travel that was destined for me

18. However long the beloved's union and nearness is
Time will come separating and repelling

19. I will go guided by what you have given me
Whether I want to go or I want the journey

20. So remember me in the nights and raise
A glance to those stars, seducing

21. For it is there I pasture and gain strength
From it, and return victoriously triumphing

22. So I held her until we became one
In a pleasure none have tasted or got drunk by

23. And with the softness of breasts my pleasure was complete
And with the kissing of lips I tasted the abundant river

24. By God that was an occasion that
Surpassed imagining and picturing

25. If Raphael painted us as we were
We would exemplify love pictured
