1. Be generous for we are in a state
That imitates the benevolence of time with kindness

2. That doubles the might of the brave with safety
And weakens the heart of the coward with fear

3. The murmur of the lute and singing of the minstrels
Delight the ears in its atmosphere

4. And I have a leg that takes the place of wine
Intoxicating us with subtle meanings

5. And you would think our coffee a soothsayer
For the excellent qualities it has displayed

6. When the youth tastes it, it is tasked
With solving worries and loosening the tongue
