1. O memories of yesterday dancing in dreams
Come to the bosom of beauty, come

2. The cheerful earth spread out a paradise for you
Where imaginative arts have flourished

3. And created everlasting joys
With bliss and beauty

4. Summer awoke from its slumber
And love blossomed in every aspect

5. Dreams sang until they took shape
As charming songs and scenes

6. As if the stars of the night in the glow of dawn
Came to it in a gentle rustle

7. Pleasures that only a poet attains
And one intimate with life, loyal

8. All senses roam through it as
Pilgrims roam around a shrine

9. And though in the prime of youth I cared not
Why in old age am I concerned?

10. O memories of yesterday, return and renew
My youth with magic like youth, precious

11. For the staff of days weighs down my shoulders
Disciplining me before my death
