Translated by Bahjat Abbas
How glorious is the nature
Embracing me with light!
How the sun glitters!
How the meadow laughs!
The flowers are bursting
From each branch
And a thousand voices
From tiny shrubs
And joy and happiness
From every heart.
O earth, O sun!
O delight, O pleasure!
O love, O love!
So precious so pretty,
As the morning’s clouds
On those mounds!
Marvellously you bless
The fresh field,
In blossoms’ mist
The fullness of the world.
O girl, O sweet!
How I love you!
How your eye reveals
How you love me!
As the lark loves
Singing and air,
And morning’s flowers
The scent of the heaven,
As I love you
With warm blood,
You who gives me youth
And joy and spirit
For new songs and dances.
Forever be happy,
As you are in love!
