On this sweet evening,
come into eyes,
O beloved,
and take my sweetness.

Today, in the southern breeze,
the papia bird sings with a restless heart.

I have remained awake age after age with intoxicating love.
My mind welcomes You with the fragrance of flowers.

It cannot bear the pangs of hide and seek any more.
That game has already taken place too often.
I know that You are the essence of all essences.
And You know that it is not possible to remain away from me anymore.
