I pass the night with a verdant garden woven of darkness,
I pass the night with a lush garden of darkness,
where nothing but the radiant stars are its blossoms.
And there, its flowers are only the radiant stars.

Would that the rivers of day might burst forth,
Oh, if only the rivers of day would burst forth,
and its dawn stream through them from the eastern side.
And its dawn would flow through them from the eastern side.
