Love, love, who has so wounded me.
I can only utter one cry, love.
Love, love, I an united to you,
I can only embrace you.
Love, love, who has so ravished me,
My heart grows weaker with love.
I am absorbed in you:
Love, let me abide with you:
Love in your goodness
Let me die of love.

Love, love, it is the cry of the whole world:
Love, love, it is the cry of everything:
Love, love, such is your depth,
The more embraced, the more desired.
Love, love, you are the circle around my
heart;
He who possesses you, owes you forever;
You are my food and my clothing:
He who loves you
Is happy to feel your sweetness,
To forever cry, love.

Love, love, you make me suffer so,
Love, love, I cannot bear it.
Love, love, you give me so much,
Love, love, I think I will die:
Love, love, you have such dominion over me,
Love, love, transform me into yourself;
Love, sweet langour
Love, my desire
Love, my delight
Blind me with love.

Love, love, my heart is broken
Love, love, my heart I wounded:
Love, love, draw me towards your beauty,
Love, love, I am ravished by you:
Love, love, disdaining life
Love, love, my soul is united with you
Love, you are my life:
Do not forsake me,
For you have made me faint
All-embracing love.
