1. The night grew long and darker still
The night has killed my restlessness

2. My eyelids remained sleepless
Its strangeness rains blood

3. It parted from earth a moment
And climbed seeking the skies

4. Whenever it passed a star
It wandered among the stars

5. Lord of a secret well-kept
We never found it kept secret

6. It kept the secret whole
So if you wish to translate

7. May God have mercy on an affection
That found no more affectionate

8. Begin remembering the fever
Oh, to remember the fever!

9. O people, what is with you
That you hate the orphan?

10. Leave him to find for himself
Either Heaven or Hell
