1. Whiteness pleased me
Until I saw the gray in me

2. So today the whiteness inclined
Towards you then towards me about me

3. So I abandoned youth with you
And forgot it as though I

4. And it is said you have grown
Beyond passion so I say I

5. And I remain bald always
My age when I realize my age

6. I used to grieve separation
And distance and being shunned

7. Until the days of youth passed
So I came out of sorrow into sorrow

8. And I indeed woke and repented
From the wine of passion and broke my vat

9. And shook off the easy going one in the face
When he brought the cup return me

10. And I stood at the door of the generous one
Maybe he will allow me in out of his grace
