1. The refined man's modesty held back his tongue
So he spoke by gestures and divine inspiration

2. When I saw the drunkenness in his eyes
As he knitted his eyelids with drowsiness

3. I shook him with my hand and said to him, awaken
O master of the mixed company and the regrets

4. Until the worry is lifted from you with a drink
That elevates its drinker to the highest

5. He answered me as drunkenness lowered his voice
And the dawn pushed away the darkness

6. I do understand what you say but
Sobriety has turned away the surge of tipsiness
