My life in the bygone days of love,
My life in the past love's covenant,
And your dazzling beauty with its lofty peaks,
And your sublime beauty illuminating existence,

Come to me; love's anguish has saddened me,
Come to me, O companion of my passion,
And your past sang in my present.
And sing your past in my present,

Do you not remember the nights of love,
Do you not remember the nights of love,
Beloved of my heart, radiance of my thoughts,
Beloved of my heart, joy of my mind,

Nights when we whispered to the hills,
Nights when we would whisper intimacies,
And a bewildered one's kiss brought hopes to life,
And longing would find its kiss before bewilderment,

And the full moon gazed at us with longing,
The moon would gaze at us in yearning,
So we gazed at it with a mocker's longing?
And we would gaze back at its mockery,

Love you, O muse of the poet.
