1. I confide in you what grieves me, so have mercy
On a brother whose love led him to death

2. And I complain of the times that have passed
To one bewildered, if longing calls he responds

3. And I fear for you the blowing of the breeze
That comes from the garden carrying scents

4. And I ask God’s forgiveness for a time
Of life when youth did not find me with you

5. Come let us renew the days of joy
And plunder their nights relentlessly

6. Come let me taste through you the savor of peace
You and I have had enough of war
