1. To you, to you O my homeland
My life and the temptation of time

2. Fragrant breath and dreams like incense
Wander in the memory of your perfume

3. The phantom of your glory comforts me
In the dawn and at night

4. And my heart in its feathers
My thoughts arouse its yearning

5. So it lives in you with hope
And calms down while raging

6. Talking about you delights me
And the day I meet you, my darling

7. The lightning of your glory reminds me
Of the sanctity of your shining youth

8. And the light of your guidance takes me
Away from events and others

9. Away from the world and what is in it
And of mankind on earth

10. I see you in the dust of the stars
And in the sun and in the moon

11. And in the blowing winds
And in the undulating flowers

12. And in dreams wandering
And in ghosts and images

13. And in my joy and in my sorrow
And in my seriousness and my cheer

14. I ransom you, O my homeland
With a rebellious soul

15. And a spirit that stable faith
And fear do not shake

16. And a heart in which is kindled
A fire over the days and times

17. And a mind filled with confidence
In the justice of God and fate

18. I sacrifice every oppressed
And every tortured mind

19. Who sees torments tearing him
Yet he perseveres with mighty patience

20. Sanctifies the joy of pain
And worships the rapture of suffering

21. Could there ever be roses without thorns
Or honey without stings?

22. Shall we ever, O my homeland, enjoy
The fragrant aromas of your flowers

23. Without anguish that purifies us
From defilements and vileness?

24. When I meet you, O my homeland
Will my life not end?

25. How long have I waited
How inured to adversity is my endurance!

26. In this world I am
A stranger in land and kin
