1. The fire is lit in the ashes of questions
Its smoke stirs memories

2. And the throats of forgetfulness recited its connection
A melody, so beautiful, flowing freely here!

3. And I who brought its words closer together
Between me and the sea, a boat set loose

4. My little blue notebook, in its goblets
Ink was poured over neglected lines

5. The language of speech, its favors came in succession
And scattered above moistened lips

6. A twilight of passion I had neglected
Hints in vain, while life is stalled

7. Excuse me (Shakespeare), your endurance no longer
Had vigor when the veins (of questions) dried up!
