1. A drink to a life without bitterness
Days when lovely eyes rule over us

2. When connection is joined to eternity
Whose rope is harvested while separation is abandoned

3. We spend our evenings and mornings with no reproacher
No hidden watcher with forbidden glances

4. A fellowship of family, a gathered home
Filled with our loved ones and playful joy

5. Until the turns of fate aimed at us
With separation, when destinies betrayed us

6. And tears accompanied an unceasing eye
When the neighbors' walls became desolate

7. Do not deny my sorrow, my friends
Over what is past, sobbing is excused

8. Tell me patience is impossible
Grief uncontainable, tears unrestrained

9. Only cups that unravel the body
Can take away the sadness in my heart

10. Or a well-sung melody that was played
With flutes and strings in wondrous harmony

11. Oh home, braced with vines that rain
And winds have changed since those who lived there
