Alas, near or far, he torments, torments,
Near or far, he torments, torments.
He calls close, without a word, he appears,
He comes near, without a word, he appears.
Near, yet unseen, no sight, no sight,
Near, casts an eye, it enthralls, enthralls.
Near, for him, desires reside, desires,
Near, for him, all desires, all desires.
For him, I strive a hundred times,
Ah, friend, is it a lover?
Yes, friend, a lover!
Ah, friend, is it a lover?
Yes, friend, a lover!
Yes, friend, a lover!
Yes, friend, a lover!
