1. The eye of spring has awoken from sleep
It gives a tender glance towards the coming of spring

2. The edges of time have softened
And the season, oh companion, is renewed

3. The seal of eternity was broken
By the tight embrace of the years

4. And so it dawns with light and fire
Sparkling from a tearful early morning rain

5. The weather in this eternal garb
Is clothed in clouds

6. Shielding from the cold breeze
So bring it here, my friend

7. As warmth for a dignified weary body
And the sweetness of dissolute life in a lip's sip of wine

8. What is holding back my reins
From the sip of the daughter of the vine

9. Never, though the years tighten
When I see it renewed

10. So bring in your bejeweled hand
Like the rising full moon crowned with a halo

11. My soul is a young gazelle
Daughter of eight and ten

12. Who has settled in my breast
Then is shy of my estrangement

13. Oh you who blame my plentiful tears
Let me be, for tears are permitted for the ardent lover

14. She has hoarded the attainment of union
Until fantasies no longer matter

15. Wandering without care
So I remain singing of my state

16. How long will this aloofness and estrangement last
Oh you who resides between my ribs

17. Are you not amazed by my passion
