"Don Gayseros, Don Gayseros,
Wonderful, handsome knight,
You have made me swear to leave the castle,
Dearest, with your entreaties.

Don Gayseros, in alliance with you
The forest and the lights of evening lured me.
See, I am here now. So tell me,
Where are we going, oh loved one?"

"Donna Clara, Donna Clara,
You are the mistress, I am the servant.
You are the driver, I am just a planet.
Sweet power, command as you will!"

"Good, so let us walk along the cliff edge
Then go down to the crucifix and
Turn there to the chapel
Back towards home through the meadows."

"Oh, why to the chapel?
Oh, why at the crucifix?"
"Tell me, what objection do you have?
I actually thought you were my servant."

"Yes, I shall walk, yes, I am setting off
Just as you wish, Mistress."
And they walked together and 
Spoke a great deal about sweet love.

"Don Gayseros, Don Gayseros,
Look, we are at the crucifix.
Have you not bent your head
Before the Lord, like other Christians?"

"Donna Clara, Donna Clara,
Could I look at anything else
Apart from your delicate hands
Playing with the flowers?"

"Don Gayseros, Don Gayseros,
Were you not able to reply
When the pious monk greeted you
Saying, 'Christ give you peace'?"

"Donna Clara, Donna Clara,
Could any sound penetrate my ear - 
Not a single other sound on earth -
Other than you whispering, 'I love you'?"

"Don Gayseros, Don Gayseros,
Look. In front of the chapel is the glint
Of the holy water basin!
Come and do as I do, beloved."

"Donna Clara, Donna Clara,
I have just been totally blinded
For I looked into your eyes
And I couldn't find myself again."

"Don Gayseros, Don Gayseros,
Do as I do, if you are my servant.
Dip your right hand in the water
And make the sign of the cross on your forehead."

Don Gayseros was stunned and remained silent.
Don Gayseros fled from there.
Donna Clara was shaken and directed
Her timid steps to the castle.
