Do not heed the reproacher; pour me
Heed not the slanderer and give me to drink
Wine cooled by the north wind, aubergine-red.
Wrapped in the redness of the setting sun

Or do you not see the bright stars, like jewels
Do you not see the stars like gems
Scattered by a beauty upon turquoise?
Scattered by a singing maid on turquoise

And the moon in the sky's horizon like a white rose
White, laughing in gardens of violets.
Laughing in violet gardens
