Translation:

The rocks and wild beasts weep with my weeping;

they heave sighs along with my hot sighs;
the surrounding air is moved with pity for my torments.
Wherever I stand, wherever I turn my steps,
I seem to find weeping and sighs.
Moved by my sorrows, each seems to say,
"Poor wretch, what are you doing here, sorrowful and alone?"
