1. The days have been blessed by you and made joyful,
You are my wishes, riches, and life,

2. Let the night go away, we forgive it,
As long as this morning, following its darkness, shines,

3. O you who slept while dawn rose from your abode,
Radiantly beaming its brilliant glory on the horizons,

4. A weary youth knocked on the door,
Long has been his journey and numerous his steps,

5. Moving his feet through the days,
Seeking a lovely phantom in his dreams,

6. At you he laid down his travel bags of wishes,
And in the heat of your beauty cast away his staff,

7. How quiet the night and hushed the stars,
Except for a love-sick nightingale singing his sorrows,

8. He called you from the furthest land, so listen,
To him who through the long nights cried your name,

9. He called a beloved, asleep to his passions,
Sweet, picked by one noble, and carefully guarded,

10. I loved you with love, and sang of it,
The wishes, the passion, and the lips were released,

11. For love is but the secret of the sublime,
An eternal hymn, and we its chanters.
