My Sovereign, do not refuse the gift of my love, hear me,
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
My Sovereign, do not refuse the gift of my love, hear me,
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
You know not the paths I have trod for you,
The moment you appeared, my life bloomed anew.
Your cruel gaze, beloved, pierced deep into my heart,
I felt as if, alive, I had begun to depart,
Alas, I depart, hear me.
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
My Sovereign, do not refuse the gift of my love, hear me,
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
My soul yearns to reach out, to hold your hand, beloved,
To drink a goblet of love, from your eyes, heaven-sent.
Tell me, how much more must I endure, so deeply moved?
Even when pain swells within, your name is what I've invoked,
Your name, I invoke, hear me.
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
My Sovereign, do not refuse the gift of my love, hear me,
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
This heart, brimming with longing, is your devotee.
