1. Hope springs gently in my soul
For it is my soul, so whatever befalls you befalls me

2. If I am absent, my love, my dawn will fade
And my ambition will perish

3. And I will be the first to suffer the agony of longing
An orphan from the bliss of comfort

4. Without you I am a darkened lamp
A mind that cannot find the truth

5. Without you I am nothing but misfortune
Tossed about by the winds

6. My world is but a moment of emptiness
My dreams broken horses trampled underfoot

7. After you, existence is desolate
And its people pass by like ghosts

8. Every melody is but a wail when you are gone
And the voice of doom echoes loud

9. The blossoms are all bare, no sweet perfume
And the light of dawn is the hue of slaughter

10. The stars asked me of you and when
I confessed, they poured their sorrows into my wounds

11. For I carry my passion and care
For your beauty, grace and poured perfume

12. Do not leave with the dawn's right
Or your eyes or my love, do not leave

13. Rise as the sun rises and return
As fragrance wanders gently on the hillsides

14. Come let us delight in our love through the nights
And melt in my rapture and find rest

15. For whom do I build my palaces
And raise my chambers if you are gone?
