Kekasihku, sayang, dimanakah
engkau? Hatiku penuh sesak hasratkan diri!Mari, mari, datang kembali kepadaku!
Masih terasa kemesraan tanganmu membelai rambutku. Bibirku masih bergetar oleh
kecupmu menghentikan napas. Manakah tangan yang kukuh memeluk?
Kasihku, sayang, hatiku,
hasratkan engkau. Seluruh tubuhku menanti dan menanti, hangus hancur hatiku
dibakar rindu. Bawa aku melayang ke awang tinggi. Di mana hanya ada aku dan
engkau, jauh terlupa dunia raya.
Di mana aku menjadi engkau, dan
engkau menjadi aku, hilang lenyap dalam kekudusan cipta. Wahai, alangkah kosong
dan sepinya, rumah seluruh dan alam semesta, karena hangat kemesraanmu tak ada
melingkungku!

MY BELOVED
My beloved, my darling, where are
you? My heart overflows with longing! Come, come, oh return to me! I still feel
the soft touch of your fingers gently caressing my hair. Your kisses that leave
me breathless cause my lips to quiver even now. Where are the arms that held me
close?
My darling, my beloved, my heart
longs for you. My whole being waits for you. My heart is tormented with the
burning flame of love. Carry me off to the clouds. Where only you and i shall
be, far away where the world will disappear.
Where i will become you, where
you will become me, lost and drowning in the holiness of creation. Oh God, how
strangely alone and empty, is my home and the world, because the warmth and the
closeness of your love is not surrounding me!
