1. We were created from light, and through us space glowed
My beloved, we are spirit and we are pure

2. We have suppressed the heart's desires, so our hearts are but air
And yearning, my love, is in it agony and solace

3. And dreams and hopes, whispers and mystery
My beloved, we are an ethereal glow and radiance

4. My beloved, we are in God joy and song
My beloved, we are in virtue, beauty and splendor

5. My beloved, we are in happiness, dream and serenity
My beloved, we are in spiritual bliss dawn and dusk

6. My beloved, we are in love, yearning and comfort
My beloved, we are in poetry, imagination and joy

7. My beloved, we are in art, eternity and permanence
My beloved, we are in life, pleasures and joys

8. When we despised earth and earth is torment and misery
And we swam in the open skies and the skies are dust

9. And we read the page of eternity and conceived the mystery
Then we saw our two silhouettes, while we were pure

10. My beloved, we are in love, ancient captives
Give me the cup, and sing whatever you wish, my beloved

11. Sing me a beautiful melody, in it solace and comfort
In it sighs and moans, innocence and healing

12. In it intimacy and affection, whispers and calm
In it a breath of the magic of art, a beginning without end

13. In it an ardor of our two souls, yearning and passion
In it the meaning of our lives, clarity and illumination

14. My beloved, give me the cup and sing whatever you wish
The wine of love, the spirit's ray, and the spirit a vessel

15. My beloved, give me a kiss to be kissed by the light
My beloved, embrace me to be embraced by the sky

16. And let me vanish into you, for love is annihilation
And absent from any life, for all in it is but dust

17. My beloved, I am in you the whole, and the part is space
My beloved, I am longing and in you is my hope

18. My beloved, this world is parting and meeting
