Go, my lover, go now!

Go, my lover, go now!

See, morning dawns.

People are already passing through the alleys,

And the market is becoming so lively,

That morning itself, pale morn,

Already raises its white wings.

And I'm afraid of our neighbors,

That you'll shock them;

For they don't know how deeply

I love you and you love me.

So, my lover, go now,

See, morning dawns.

When the sun, shining in the heavens,

Frightens the clear pearls from the field,

Must I also, weeping, surrender

The pearl, which was my realm?

What sparkles as day to others

Seems to my eyes as night,

For the separation darkens upon me, anxious,

When the red of morning awakes.

Go, my lover, go now!

See, morning dawns.

Flee then from my arms!

For if you lose track of time,

We might trade our brief moment of heat,

For long sorrow.

Purgatory's pains can

Be borne for one day,

If hope streaming in the distance

Reveals heaven's glory.

So, my lover, go now!

See, morning dawns.
