1. The one I love visited me before dawn
So my inhibitions faded and shame left me

2. He gave me drink and said sleep and relax
No fault lies with those whom we love

3. Pass the cup of the one I love and desire
For the one I love and desire is virtuous

4. If given to one dead, he would return living
It is solace and comfort for souls

5. Reproach me not, for I heed no blame
No, even if the meadows cry loudly

6. How wonderful to speak of my beloved
Amongst people of purity and people of joy

7. My beloved appeared in the wings of my night
And gifted me his company until morn

8. My time is blessed, my restraints cast off
Give me cups and goblets
