1. O my beloved, give me hopes and let me drink
Blessed is the wine of contentment as it is poured

2. Blessed is the cup and bubbles that dance
In the cup and gilded rays

3. The mercy of existence is all dried up
And the mercy that never dries up weeps

4. And if the sky is too narrow for my longing
The sky in your eyes is more spacious

5. How I wished, while hearts were unkind
And visited while faces frowned

6. How I wished your kind chest would rest
Upon its pounding, tortured fluttering

7. Come and press me to it with tenderness
My body is tired and my tired soul
