1. O paradise built upon sorrows
Are you not just more temptation atop temptations?

2. Had it not been for you, sadness would not have seized my heart
For often ugliness comes from beauty

3. You bring me melody, and you bring me torment
And my heart finds no peace in tranquility

4. And so between exile and homeland
Life passes like a dream at dusk

5. Beauty and love lost to time
