1. My world, oh my world
Between lute and flute

2. They are my consolation
My world, how cruel

3. Is your wound in my heart
How thirsty is the sapling

4. In the oasis of love
Bring me, oh world

5. My solo chant
Make it a dream

6. From the eternal world
Bring me poetry

7. With rhythmic ecstasy
To weave a grave for me

8. In the forgotten realm
No harm in calling

9. For my dreams of death
If only it would return

10. And gather up my days
The past in which sighed

11. The wings of the lyre
And as destinies willed

12. Mockery for me
The present is weary

13. Draining sorrow's cup
No faith in it

14. To benefit mankind
The unknown future

15. Shrouded in its winding sheet
Its foolish boat

16. Never nearing the shore
This is the caravan

17. Led by its guide
Its moist tear

18. A complaint of ordeals
Bring me solace

19. To revive my soul
Or draw near the steps

20. From the darkness of decay
My world of sighs

21. Their embers a blaze
In my mind waves

22. No sea has contained
Wine and melodies

23. In the tavern of days
Inspired intoxication

24. From the burning pains
The alert mind

25. On the horizons of goblets
Yearns for a lamp

26. From the world of joys
The drunk reveler

27. At the mercy of fate
His enchanted hymn

28. Like a lyre
In the temple of sorrows

29. I spent my days
As if time itself

30. Was healed by my afflictions
I roam among the perishable

31. Like the confused pilgrim
I send her to bewail

32. The fading life
Oh spreader of life

33. In your potter's hand
The fire in my chest

34. And I, the living dead
