The garden is arrayed in rubies and pearls,
The garden is of ruby and pearl
And the sky in silver and gold;
And the weather of silver and ambergris

And the boughs are unveiled with their garlands
The twigs shine with their garlands
Before you, in their green robes.
Upon you in their green clothes

So dismount from sobriety, for no gait
So descend from sobriety - no walk
Is more delightful than the amble of drunkenness.
Is sweeter than the steps of sugar
