1. I met with the one I love after our separation
In a land I hoped its soft breezes would bring us together

2. So my crying was like its thunder and his smile its lightning
Flashes of passion stirred feelings long asleep

3. Clouds of my tears watered its meadows
Scenting the air with the sweetness of flowers

4. Time brought near the love for which I had hoped
But kept far from me the watchfulness that would hinder it
