Glorious king, true light and clarity, Almighty God, Lord, if it please You, Be a faithful aid to my companion, Because I have not seen him since the night came, And soon it will be dawn. Fair companion, are you sleeping or awake? Don't sleep any longer, but softly rouse yourself, For in the east I see the star arisen Which brings on the day, I know it well, And soon it will be dawn. Fair companion, I call you with singing: Don't sleep any longer, because I hear the bird sing Which goes to seek the day through the woods, And I fear that the jealous one may attack you, And soon it will be dawn. Fair companion, go to the window And look at the stars in the sky; You will understand whether I am your faithful messenger: If you don't do this, it will be to your harm, And soon it will be dawn. Fair companion, since I parted from you I have neither slept nor risen from my knees, Instead, I have prayed God, the Son of Saint Mary, That He might give you back to me in loyal companionship, And soon it will be dawn. Fair companion, you begged me not to go to sleep Out there on the steps, But instead to keep watch all night until dawn; Neither my song nor my company please you now, And soon it will be dawn. Fair sweet companion, I am in so rich a place That I wish it would never be dawn nor day, Because the noblest lady ever born of mother I hold and embrace; therefore, I don't care at all about The jealous fool nor the dawn.
