Translations
 |
Ik neig naar waar jij gaat. |
 |
I incline to where you go. |
|
Waar het lichaam van zijn meesteres is, daar wordt ook het hart van de minnaar gevonden en ook al is zij afwezig, hij verlangt
naar haar, smacht naar haar en bemint haar. Zoals de plant heliotroop wendt hij naar waar zij gaat, zijn ogen, hart en ziel. |
|
Where the body of his Mistress is, there the heart of the lover is found and even if she is far away, he longs for her, yearns
for her and loves her. Like the flower heliotrope he directs his eyes, his heart and his soul to where she goes. |
