1. The clouds have shifted from her chest, the sky
And light emerged from the cave of winter

2. So the hills are gowns of satin
And the streams chatter and sing

3. Summer has returned, smiling and fragrant
So when will clarity return to the world?

4. I see paradise in every protected place
And I see all people happy

5. War has gone, receded indeed
Yet dread of war has no end

6. If we wake, the talks of turmoil
In the populated sanctuary and bare land

7. And if we sleep, images of horror
And ghosts of annihilation appear

8. So in the papers rages furious ink
And on the radio crackles electricity

9. We dread in our day the evil of tomorrow
And when dawn folds we fear the evening

10. How strange that war is a gate for havoc
And a path to ruin and disgrace

11. Why do people desire it? Do they
Hate longevity in this life?

12. If the world's science heals them
My God return reason to people

13. And let Noah's flood come before
The earth drowns in a flood of blood

14. And conceal the secrets and hide their essence
From the learned and the intelligent

15. For you have multiplied means of harm
When you increased scholars among us

16. How often we found a lethal affliction
Whenever you lifted a veil off a secret

17. Creation may progress but the law
Of the jungle remains the law of the mighty

18. Killing is forbidden but to them
Killing the weak is the easiest thing

19. Do not tell me that is God's decree
You do not know the secrets of destiny

20. With water to quench my thirst came
A loyal friend of my loyal brethren

21. My friend spare the water for my mouth
The thirst of souls is not quenched with water

22. It is not cups of wine that I crave
Nor do I seek glory or wealth

23. Rather my longing is for a world of contentment
And an era of peace and brotherhood

24. Do not promise me the sky my friend
To me, the sky is being with true friends

25. Show me now in their bosom
For I am now as if in the sky
