Translation:Mondo kaj Koro/Se ekbrulus

Out of me, because of my yearning, burning heart,

My painful love flows ardently.

Rigid metal from flowing iron

Obtuse verse melted out of pain.

Here's a song, as if bell-sound

Singing dirges through the air,

Here's a savage song, a hopeless song:

Never bright, never lightly coloured.

Oh, if love's flame would start burning in you

And the heart of the one who eternally loves you

You would caress with your true love.

Oh dear, then would my song be

A joyous shiny golden-made ornament

For your head, with an ostentatious diamond.
