1. The roses laugh and the strings tremble
And the flute laments melodiously and weeps

2. And the soul reveals itself in the light of spring
As the bride's necklace and jewelry adorn her

3. And the playful one overtakes the sluggish one
And fate makes no distinction between the chosen and not

4. And whenever a cup was filled
I swore the rays of sun spill over

5. And the people are brothers in truth between them a lineage
Of affection not equated with ancestry

6. They suckled the pearl of dazzling whiteness between them
And mandated for the infant of the cup what is obligatory

7. They do not reproach the drunkard his slip
Nor would they doubt their morals for a moment

8. How excellent are the days and eras in upbringing
And time has consequences for its ailments
