Alas, why did I

Alas, why did I refuse
Him who loved me so?
He desired me for a long time
and found no mercy in me.
Alas! I am so hard-hearted!
What can I say?
Senseless
I was, more than mad,
when I refused him.
I will make
amends as he wishes,
if he will deign to hear me.
 
I must indeed call myself
wretched and unfortunate,
since he in whom there is no bitterness,
only great sweetness and dewy freshness,
begged me so sweetly
and did not find
mercy; senseless
I was not to love him.
I will make
amends as he wishes,
if he will deign to hear me.
 
He ought to have found
mercy when he asked for it;
indeed I did wrong
to refuse him;
he has put me in great torment.
I will die
if I am not
reconciled to him
without delay
I will make
amends as he wishes,
if he will deign to hear me.
 
Song, go without delay
to him who pleases me so.
Tell and beg him for God’s sake
to come to me without delay.
I will put myself at his mercy.
I will soon make peace
if that is his wish,
for I suffer so much.
I will make
amends as he wishes,
if he will deign to hear me.
