Doubt

Be stopped, restlesness of passion!
Fall asleep, hopeless heart!
I weep, I suffer,
The soul is tired of separation;
I suffer, I weep,
Not to sob the grief into tears.
In vain hope to me happiness looks,
I do not believe, I do not believe insidious vows!
Separation takes away love.

Like a sleep persistent and terrible,
I dream of my happy rival,
And secretly and maliciously
boiling jealousy blazes,
And secretly and maliciously
my hand searches for a weapon.
In vain jealousy brings treason to me,
I do not believe, I do not believe the insidious slander.
I am happy: you are mine again.
Sadly the time passes,
we again embrace each other,
And passionately and hotly my happy heart throbs again,
And passionately and hotly our lips melt together.
