1. The clouds of my past era have irrigated me
With pouring rain that lingers

2. My pleasures have certainly departed
And I have not enjoyed my life

3. Oh, blessed was the era of tender youth
More blessed than any era

4. When I used to reap the livelihood
From its ever-green glades

5. Youth has certainly departed, tender
And elegant, with meadows and flowers

6. In the company of every slender and graceful belle
With pleasant scent and soft skin

7. She shows you the full moon in the darkness of night
Shining like a pearl

8. When she smiles, she reveals pearls
As her lips part from her teeth

9. When she walks, her waist almost sways
And buds forth from her chest

10. And how much intoxication we derived
From her glances, not to mention her sweetness

11. Her amorous glance oozes
And casts a spell on hearts and minds

12. Slender of form, she sways
Swinging her curvy body

13. The excuses on her cheek have spread
Pleading my innocence

14. And how many nights went by
Between dusk and dawn

15. Until the army of dawn raided the night
Disturbing it with uproar

16. Those days of ours have passed
Nobly, though now beyond recall
