1. O clouds, gather and pour down rain,
And o spring, your plants grow lush.

2. O brother of righteousness, some of which
Exceeds my need to know.

3. And who is the sea that steadily
Drowns me, its lies are overwhelming?

4. And who dressed me with his love as a boast
That drags behind and ahead of me?

5. And when I lean on him I never cease to be
Between honoring and obliging.

6. And who tomorrow will drag the train of glory
Between reverence and esteem?

7. Welcome the feast day whose nearness
Is sweeter than water to the thirsty.

8. And keep his due rights in caring for him
If you wish, with a cup or a chalice.

9. And live, o master, with delighted eye
Whose brightness among mankind is sublime.

10. For you are one who, if he forges a link
Will perfect it through and through.
