1. Whisper to the full moon your secrets,
And complain of the sorrows that distress you,

2. Sing your hidden sadness and pass it by alone,
In the absence of the nightly revelers.

3. Look to its radiance as it has adorned
The dome of the trees with a necklace of pearls,

4. And shed its light on the surface of the Nile,
Turning it into a shower of silver.

5. A breeze blew, perfumed
With the fragrance of blooming flowers,

6. And stillness crept in, so only the calls
Of birds can be heard.

7. The splash of oars is like the wing
Of a bird come home to roost in the thickets.

8. This is an hour to indulge in memories
And for the bitterness of nostalgia to taste sweet.

9. Unburden your sorrowful soul and listen
To the call of the past through the ages.

10. Weep for days gone by, which we spent
Obliviously, at the whims of fate.
