1. And on a dark night when the covers were drawn
Spreading wings black as pitch

2. Shielding from us the first light of dawn
I banished cares with a sober drink

3. A body of water with the spirit of fire
In a gathering that brought together the earthenware

4. A beauty laughing above the moons
Crowded with twinkling stars

5. From every torch in the protected grounds
Degrading wealth and honoring a neighbor

6. They are given to drink from the brilliant lights
Many are their names and ages

7. More fragrant than the scent of musk
More subtle in beauty and redness

8. Than the water of a cheek flowing in tattoos
The one with earrings and bracelets

9. And the moist melody on the strings
When she made us hear the music of jest

10. It flows with the spirits through the veins
Until when the gamblers sang

11. The melodies the birds twittered
And the morning on its journeys

12. We got up to deny the veil of wine
From the essence of souls in the deserts

13. With every flaming glance
Facing beginnings and endings

14. If he took the lead along with the currents
The ships of carpenters carried him

15. Followed by every predatory hunter
Hollow of ribs, gaunt of belly

16. As if he were in the knot of the belt
With eyes that did not wink from the spear points

17. Like embers between the cheeks and eyelids
Almost casting the prey with sparks

18. As if baring teeth for the warring
Flicking tails for the rivals

19. Like they were scorpions of the deserts
And a judge among the beasts with revenge

20. Swifter than lightning and hurricanes
And in the moment of pouring at the ready

21. Yellower than the color of ripe apricots
As if formed from vitality

22. I subdued it and the gazelle in flight
Between rugged ground and flat plain

23. So it passed in a cloud of dust
Blurring its tracks

24. As if seeking revenge
What does the gazelle want with escape

25. From a son of the wind in a shirt of fire
While he with fatigue and harm

26. Hurls small spears at him
The throw of a left-handed spearman

27. If only you could see us in the departure of the house
To a garden like a perfumed meadow

28. Eating of the hunt of my father the healer
And drinking the blond-haired wine in goblets

29. I would not be but casting off inhibitions
