Offriamo fiori versiamoci coppe
apriamo cieli riinizia il creato.
Se invade le vene il dolore forte
tentazione evasa, coppiere ed io.
Con acqua di rose il purpureo vino amaro
zucchero il fuoco e addolcisce il fumo.
Prendi la bella lira, musico e canta
balliamo cantiamo eccitati a festa.
Polvere, vento d'ovest alzaci ai cieli
librare liberi in luci elevate.
Se la mente vuol tornare e urla il cuore per
restare
qui è un litigio per decisioni d'amore.
Ahimè queste parole sprecate in questa terra,
sù, Hafez, generazioni nuove crea!
Let's offer
flowers, pour a cup of libation,
split open the skies and start anew on creation.
If the forces of grief invade our lovers' veins,
cupbearer and I will wash away this temptation.
With rose water we'll mellow crimson wine's bitter cup;
we'll sugar the fire to sweeten smoke's emanation.
Take this fine lyre, musician, strike up a love song;
let's dance, sing all night, go wild in celebration.
As dust, O West Wind, let us rise to the Heavens,
floating free in Creator's glow of elation.
If mind desires to return while heart cries to stay,
here's a quarrel for love's deliberation.
Alas, these words and songs go for naught in this land;
come, Hafez, let's create a new generation.
split open the skies and start anew on creation.
If the forces of grief invade our lovers' veins,
cupbearer and I will wash away this temptation.
With rose water we'll mellow crimson wine's bitter cup;
we'll sugar the fire to sweeten smoke's emanation.
Take this fine lyre, musician, strike up a love song;
let's dance, sing all night, go wild in celebration.
As dust, O West Wind, let us rise to the Heavens,
floating free in Creator's glow of elation.
If mind desires to return while heart cries to stay,
here's a quarrel for love's deliberation.
Alas, these words and songs go for naught in this land;
come, Hafez, let's create a new generation.
