The eternal spirits, in the book of destiny,
with the Divine pen, have written my dark fate
I know my life in this world is no laughing matter.
Only one of my days will have a hundred thousand aspects of misery.

Only one of my days will have a hundred thousand aspects of misery.
Those who love the world are not saints,
Those who leave life are not crazy
Mankind’s condition is not from grief
For they (the spirits) wrote everyone’s thoughts

Everyone gets his realm, his love (note 2)

If fortune could be helpful to me here
If I wave my hand to the one I love, I wonder what they’ll say
I don’t know if it is destiny or fate
They (the spirits) assigned me to a capricious lover.
