1. These charms in your eyes gleam
And in your spaces this magic and elegance

2. And in your history badges
The sun gathers weddings and sets out

3. So you, my homeland, are a past embraced
By the glory of heroism, dawn, and fragrance

4. And you are in a present robed with wings
Whose height from the whiteness of dawn emanates

5. Dawn in your eyes woos a song
And night and dusk flourish in your sky

6. No harm has ever touched you since
The messages descended with glad tidings the horizon brought

7. And no fleeting specter has ever crept in you
Or kept awake the insomnia in your sleepless eyelids

8. Let me kiss a shadow in you which grew me
And in your soil with my cheeks cling

9. And fold my wings in the warmth of affection at dawn
And when the dew and dusk pour in you

10. For you are in my essence a pulse and in my pen
Ink and in every year the paper blossoms
