  • Partial Lyrics (Translated)

    • Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    • Come under the blue brocade sky!
    • Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
    • I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
    • I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
    • I counted the stars till my finger burned
    • Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    • Come under the blue brocade sky!
    • Taste it, taste it, this night is honey
    • Taste it, and keep it,
    • It’s a heart; the heart is the final limit
    • You dark black kohl
    • It’s some black magic, isn’t it?
