1. O neighbor of palm trees, o lyre of eternity
Give me your song of fragrance and yarn

2. Give me your song filling the dawn with humming
And awaken the drunk shore with a kiss

3. With light, naked, it dances forever
Of strange, enchanting, tender palm trees

4. Dictate to my lips a tune, to my pen
A poem from the daughters of the shore never created

5. It did not flow in a lute, did not travel in a nerve
The night did not inspire it in its first cups

6. O neighbor of palm trees, the thread of dusk steals me
From my tipsiness, and remains of dreams in slumber

7. Give me back my visions of green.. Do not let
The hand of daylight frighten the night, do not neglect!

8. The virgin tent, this silence, is wonderful
God's poem.. This silence shouts to me

9. Lay me the cover of magic.. And lean
In my mind an intoxication that sprawls like hope

10. Like a forest behind forests, where
My hair gets lost in its ripe fruits

11. The journey humbled my youth, so leave my thirst
Above the island I will quench it slowly

12. I sleep a few blinks, disappear for
Thresholds of the chaste paradise from my boredom

13. Disappear from my wakefulness, and the path crushes me
The path of challenge we took, and did not stop

14. The shore yesterday welcomed me.. And prepared for me
What cannot be said, my friend the shore prepared for me

15. Do not wake me up.. I will forget a moment of my vigil
I say to sorrow: "Away from my eyelids, depart"

16. Sinbad is a sail resting on
My pillow, and embracing the sea in laziness
