1. I am a man whom nothing disturbs his soul
And shakes it like flowers and melodies

2. The melody from a singer or a musical band
And the flower in a field and in an orchard

3. This moves something deep inside my youth
And that shakes my feelings and my being

4. My eyes like to gaze upon images seen
And I love them in my hearing as songs

5. And I love them as a beautiful, clear light
Shining in the soul and heart

6. And I love them like an enchantment that flutters with the dew
And undulates in colors like colors

7. And I love them as memories that roam my mind
Of a brother I loved and a beauty that allured me

8. Or a gathering of love in the shade of youth
Indeed, all of life is those two things

9. Or in imagining homes I long for
So much beauty lies in imagining a place

10. And I looked at you as if I were
In springtime and in the meadows of Lebanon

11. I listen to the breezes telling tales to the meadows
Of what the trees told the eavesdroppers

12. And the streams singing to youth
And love in the girls and boys

13. And the flowers whenever a maiden with
Grace and eloquence passed by them

14. Whispering, we don't think anyone
Is better for her than the son of so-and-so

15. If only love would shower upon those two
What autumn showers upon us

16. It has gotten used to mingling with people
And has become something of humanity

17. So if you look at those two closely
You see around you the oneness of existence
