1. If May sleeps and promises me roses,
Will I get my due from June?

2. Roses have meanings unknown
Except to a passionate lover or alluring heart.

3. Fragrance and color alternate as examples
Of melody for my feelings and essence.

4. With them around me are banquets
Of joy, and from their wine flows drink for the thirsty.

5. I sense them when I see them, hair of goddesses,
And fragrance like hair in bewitching humankind.

6. Brides of flowers surpassed in rivalry
Brides of people in beauty and colors.

7. I pity them as if I were a lover and father
Or as if they were created from the heart of an affectionate one.
