1. I passed by the monastery of Marrán and revived it
And made my beloved's house a shelter for joy

2. My sorrow is cooled by my drinking companion’s wine
My days are for my companion’s wine and pasture

3. And I have in the door of Gerón does
That I endow with love as a loving doe

4. How good this house is, so in it
Living was sweet for me until it became visible

5. I described Damascus’ world for its inhabitants
So you don’t see a world without Damascus

6. Its rivers of crystal overflow in it
Through gardens where flowers and herbs grow

7. Shaded by fruits in the most beautiful
Scenes in our sights and most dear

8. So from an apple that did not stop being a cheek
And from a pomegranate that did not sketch a breast
