People have seen my lovesick longing in my love for him.
People have seen the madness of his love
And the beloved’s cheek appears in bloom.
And the garden of love appears in full bloom

If I denied my lovesick longing in love, she would reproach me;
If you deny, my love, and blame me for loving
For the sun has risen, and people can see.
The sun still rises and people still see
