1. O kindler of fire in the highlands with wood
Kindle, for you have stirred an endless longing

2. O kindler of fire, kindle it, for it has
A radiance that excites the fervent lover’s heart

3. A fire whose radiance shines when it is kindled for us
A blissful one whose guiding light heals sickness

4. To one blaming me, I said: It has cured
My body which I sacrificed to it, and my blood

5. You were not stirred by a longing you hoped for
Nor did you long for that house from nations

6. Your nights are not returning with disappointment
As you knew, nor are days of peace
