By the sanctity of this month, I beg you to revive me
By the sanctity of this month when you brought me back to life
with your pardon, for I can offer no excuse.
By your pardon, I have failed to make excuses

For if you knew what I suffer from love,
If you knew what I suffer from passion
what I endure would grieve you; so I wish you did not know,
You would suffer what I suffer, I wish you do not know

so that I may suffer what I endure, while you remain in comfort,
I would be miserable with what I suffer and you would remain blessed
carefree, while the fire of longing blazes in my breast.
Empty and the fire of longing burns in my chest
