1. If you could see me when I've gained access
At night, and darkness covers all

2. And sleep tempts the eyes
Excited by an eager, hasty one

3. The spies' eyes are narrowed as
The young man caresses his beloved gently

4. One is sleepy, the other confused
Babbling, while this one seems drunk

5. And I said, my lord, the light of dawn has appeared
And the darkness is about to leave

6. Then he turned to take my pillow when
He realized the spies were heedless

7. So he spent the night complaining while I excused him
With only rebukes and ailments

8. If only we were there, at the bend of the branch
One morning of youth, relaxing and straightening

9. Oh, what a wonderful night I enjoyed
The kisses being the most delightful part of its bliss
