[English Translation]
I’ve understood your distress,
Dear lover,
And yield to your desires:
Make of me your mistress.
Let’s throw discretion
And sadness to the winds.
I long for the precious moment
When we shall be happy:
I want you.

I’ve no regrets
And only one desire:
Close, very close by you
To live my whole life long.
Let my heart be yours
And your lips mine,
Let your body be mine
And all my flesh yours.

Yes, I see in your eyes
The exquisite promise
That your loving heart
Is seeking my caress.
Entwined for ever,
Consumed by the same desire,
In dreams of love
We’ll exchange our souls.
