1. O days of my youth, peace be upon you
O springtime where days are in bloom

2. In you, life is sweet, o flower of age
Minds and bodies grow

3. Carefree living we had, ah if only it lasted
Can time be hoped to endure?

4. My soul yearns for times of intimacy
Now gone like dreams

5. In meadows as if the gardens of eternity
Where clouds smile over gardens

6. Where once time was open and free
And sad eyes were sleeping from us

7. Where the branch of youth was fresh and green
Leaves atop and doves below

8. O homelands, greet life
And your noble dwellers

9. O our haven, peace be upon you
O gardens where stay is pleasant

10. So my heart is forbidden from forgetting you
And my eye sheds tears of longing upon you
