1. Leave your sublime songs
My hopes have dried on my lips

2. Arphos is not capable
Of rocking my heavens for me

3. Pass the brimming cups
And leave the trifles and double measures

4. Nay, give me the goblets
I won’t be sated except by the goblets

5. Bring me a cup so I may
Forget over your land what my being was

6. Bring me a drink so I may
Unbind myself from my halter in the open air

7. And escape from the shackles of time
And the snares of space

8. I climb the brilliant light
To stars that quench my thirst

9. I am from there, from the sky
So who on earth cast me down?

10. Who defiled the pure chaste one
And mounted the steed of disgrace?

11. Or give me a drink from the azure dome
Your cup did not quench me

12. He who sowed the vile dust
Brought me no gain or healing balm

13. And I see he did not revive
Some of my fleeting hopes

14. He brought me closer to deep pain
And wasted my mad dreams

15. Bring me a drink and make
The cups of comfort kiss eloquent lips

16. That I may taste them mixed
With the scent of love and the curl of tenderness

17. Or serve me them in the eyes
That inspire in me meanings

18. Or on the white breasts that
Stir above the branches of the saplings

19. Or in the bud’s veil
Or the lips of the maidens

20. This is the time and beauty
Is enhanced by beautiful cups

21. And the soul is a foal impossible
To bridle except by beautiful buildings

22. Bring me a drink and undo with your wine
A knot that has bound my tongue

23. If I thirst to the clarity of rhetoric
My lips and your cup speak of love

24. We gained from fickle time
A boon and spent the night in embrace

25. My heartbeats and the seeds
Of love complain to each other

26. Bring me a cup to drown
The heaviest of my afflictions

27. My body and soul in ceaseless
Burning agony

28. The cup intimates to me
What it intimates, so comfort me with another

29. To spread in my heart the sadness
Of visions I hoped for long ago

30. Silence my echo
For hopes have dried on my lips
