1. Oh my sweetness, oh my tomorrow
Oh the bitterness of tomorrow

2. Oh the wishes of my heart
That are appointed for the rendezvous

3. From you the awakening of the dream comes
The cooing, the singing bird

4. From you the glow of light and color
On the clear horizon

5. Either you rise
Or the morning does not find its way

6. I sacrifice my soul for you
You are my beloved forever

7. I wish you
Oh dark-skinned one, were something in my hand

8. So I can take you in my submissiveness
And in my rebellion

9. And in my complaining
And my disbelief and in my worship

10. You are the certainty in my blood
And the illness of my indecision

11. Have mercy, oh sweet one
On the lasting sorrow

12. You underestimate my hand
And you come to my hand

13. If only everything on earth
Would be called sweet water

14. Oh my sweetness, on your lips
Eternal eternity

15. So rise, rise in the east
With the good, the generous

16. Dark-skinned, oh sweet one
Oh dark-skinned, oh my tomorrow
