1. Do you not see the movements of the wind foretelling
That the clouds are directing rain towards the earth?

2. The atmosphere is wrapped in outspread brocade
As if it were the diversity of black and white.

3. It was as though when the cool breeze of the clouds appeared,
It was a loved one visiting in the early dawn.

4. So pass around the cups of revelry
Between the melodies of the flute and strings.

5. And know that the nights are not lasting,
So do not persist in diversion or abandonment.
