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?
