The sweetest pathway

To my feet, the sweetest road

is the one to my fair one's door,

and although she has rebelled against me

I want to go back tomorrow.

It is strewn with jasmine flowers

when the new season comes,

and despite her cruelty,

I'll go there with my hands full of flowers.

To touch her inhuman heart,

I sing my cruel pain,

and although she has rebelled against me,

it is still the sweetest road to me.
