1. If I am rewarded with a palace
Stronger than loved ones over time

2. Then how I cried for a homeland
Which became desolate from a long absence

3. Honor me with passed days
When the rain wet the dry land

4. Days when the eggs shield me
With jealousy, and the night remains intoxicated

5. And the branches of trees sway
Like the skirts of robes in rapture

6. And you see the frontiers as if
Strung with pearls one next to the other

7. Oh palace where are my loved ones
Who were a helper and treasure to us

8. We saw in each one’s face
A sun and a full moon

9. As if they had not risen
From beneath a night of branches in dawn
