1. We inform you of our state, all that has been
What was secret from you has become public

2. We enjoyed the pleasure of living
While time made us forgetful

3. The musician tempted us with his magic
But no more of the musician's flattery and favors

4. When his strings harmonized their melodies
You swayed, drunk without drinking wine

5. I have a companion among the repentant who elevates me
With flowers, perfume, and basil when they neglect me

6. His words have scattered flowers in the garden
Arranging beautifully roses, pearls, and coral

7. He shakes my heart whenever he sways gently
A burning passion igniting my soul with longing

8. He was once harsh and cruel, but I softened him
With poetry that is sorcery made lawful, so he yielded

9. Life is a drink and a companion
That kills you sometimes and revives you sometimes
