Ages have I yearned, for the Beloved's face,
Ages have I yearned, for this embrace.
This life, devoid of all harmony, I gave,
Then in the wine, the sea, the Beloved's form,
A vision shown, a storm.
What have you mixed, in my cup of wine?
What have you mixed, this poison divine?

Leaving the world, I sought the tavern's keep,
Drowning my soul within the goblet deep.
From faith and world, I'd turned my weary eye,
Yet still, His mention, in the tale's reply.
Of faith and world, I knew the bitter taste,
Then in my story, His image, interlaced.
What veils of self, from my eyes have slipped?
What veils of self, from my soul are ripped?
What have you mixed, in my cup of wine?
What have you mixed, this nectar divine?

With great struggle, the world I cast aside,
With great struggle, all illusions died.
From earthen idols, I turned my heart away,
With great struggle, I faced a brighter day.
O cupbearer, this malice, cease this strife,
Give back the cup, that unveils eternal life,
That makes me one, with my true friend.
Lead me to meet my dearest friend.
I crave no bed of roses, soft and sweet,
Let me be crushed beneath the thorns, complete.
But lead me to the truest friend I know.
That gold, which has no form to show,
That beauty, which no name does hold.
His flame alone, my story to be told.
I seek no world, nor its fleeting guise,
His flame alone, is the prize.
Lead me to meet, my dearest friend.
Lead me to meet, until my end.
Lead me to meet, my dearest friend.
Lead me to meet, my very friend.
Lead me to meet, my dearest friend.
In the gathering, why did you raise me again?
What have you mixed, in my cup of wine?
What have you mixed, this poison divine?
