2. On faith you didn't want to take anything.
But it was the moonlight that made it,

And she tore it out of your throat: Alleluia!

4. I am trying so hard, but well,
I only touch instead of feel.
But I am telling the truth, I don't want to deceive you.
And although everything went wrong,
I will present myself to the Lord of songs,
Only having on his lips: Alleluia!
