1. This is your place in passion and my place
Though the homes differ, we are close

2. O soul of my dreams and spring of my thoughts
And my bliss in my joy and in my sorrows

3. My yearning for you is near and far
With lights obscured from my eyelids

4. After you, my night is my tavern and my tears
My wine and specters of sorrow are my drinking companions

5. Life has flowed between its confusion and certainty
A soul living on beauty and the idea

6. Of eternity and divinity among its mysteries
Darkness robbed the light of our two hearts

7. And days speak of their thoughts
We had a world whose flowers wilted

8. So the winds of death blew away its traces
Were it not for my burning in passion and my faithfulness

9. Darkness would have folded my holiness and radiance
On the road, as you knew, there are graves

10. I still mourn its inhabitants with my crying
They drank from pleasures, intoxicated by its wine

11. And left without a sound or echo
And they have remnants on the back of life

12. What a difference between their dust and my heavens
Do you remember when you heard my melodies

13. While I and you and my longing and my pining
The dreams of youth returned to you and you told me

14. I love you despite my misery and laments
I love you, if only you had kept it from my hearing

15. So I would be its martyr and you its priestess
It was the excuse of a lover and his bliss

16. If only fate had obeyed my right hand
