If my face is pale,
the cause is love,
that is the principal reason,
and for me so bitter is
love that in the sea
I want to see myself.
Then, seeing it, she will know well,
the lovely one I belong to,
that to have any well-being
without her, I cannot.

If I have a heavy sack
of sorrow to carry,
this love is hard
for me to bear.
For me to have comfort
she will not consent
except in obeying her desire.
And since
she has such power,
without her I cannot.

She is the most regal (woman)
that one could see.
From faithful love for her
I cannot hold myself back.
I am crazy about admiring her.
I make it my duty
to receive love
only from her. I burn.
If I wish not to suffer,
without her I cannot.
