1. My life flowed and life flows between us,
From sweet dreams to bitter reality.

2. O my artistic zenith to the zenith of passion,
On a white peak in light and purity.

3. I knew you with the knowledge of heaven, you were
Only the whisper of a star in my heart.

4. The lines of the terrain faded until I forgot them
And until the terrain faded from the world of memories.

5. In the proud peaks I hovered, wandering,
And I planted in its highest pinnacles my den.

6. Nothing remained but you and the paradise
That we planted and crowned with blossoming flowers.

7. Nothing remained but you and the breeze
That blows musky from Heaven.

8. Nothing remained but you and the boat
That sways gently on the surface of the river.

9. O zenith of my glory to the zenith of wealth,
The soul’s wealth after distress, humiliation and poverty.

10. I seek refuge in you from ever becoming
A wreck on a rock and you were my rescuer against the rock.

11. I seek refuge in you by the crown, the throne and what
Sparkled with diamonds and shone with ingots.

12. I seek refuge from my return to the foolishness of dust
And its meanness among lies and betrayal.

13. I seek refuge in you from forgetting and whoever
Forgets his passion is most deserving of barren thought.

14. When you remember life one day, remember
A passion and a time not afforded in life.

15. What a wondrous dream and journey
That exceeded the realm of dreams to the starry flowers.

16. What a strange day and night!
It was chaste and I slept a prisoner of two souls.

17. What a hidden pillar and hidden world
Rich in beauty and magic!

18. What an extended horizon and new birth
For our two hearts! What a dawn for you!

19. I knew you with life’s knowledge that
Whoever walked to the grave sensed and saw,

20. I knew you with day’s knowledge for an eyelid
Painted with dreams, startled with panic.

21. The soul of dawn saw in you when it perceived
The whiteness of hopes in its red rays.

22. The wound of existence has been bleeding since Adam,
It penetrated souls, it bleeds and spreads.

23. It was healed by a generous noble hand
Sacred, goodly and blessed secret.

24. If after our journeying together I return
Alone, nomadic and humiliated by time.

25. I will return with my gaping, bleeding wound
I bandage in silence, no one knows.

26. Existence is patience like despair sometimes
When hopes collapse and despair is like patience.

27. I knew you were sacred and magnificent like a shrine
You were my heart’s prayer secretly and publicly.

28. My only shackle was the shackle of your love,
I, the man, submitted to no prohibitions or orders.

29. The strangest thing in passion is your shackle
Which I happily accepted to protect my free faith.

30. I denounced the world’s rules and all their affairs,
The means of the needy and effort of the compelled.

31. I denounced the norms of the world, between them
No connections joined a purpose or command.

32. If what they legalized and legislated were
Mud laws and ruinous folly,

33. I rebelled not conforming to their conventions
And my soul rejects this law of blasphemy.

34. My precious, generous guardian angel forsook me
What excuse for loyalty or what is my excuse?

35. I loved you not knowing the beginning of my love
Or its end, it’s enough that I know I love you.

36. If you wanted estrangement, how miserable the distance
From light to the gloomy, crowded night.
