I hope you like them.“If you lose your souls,In the path of Love,Come to me quickly,I am an invincible fortress.”You Are The Wine, And I Am The WaterIn the presence of Beauty that blesses the soul,How could I die?How can I not go insane, andHold firmly to your hair like a chain?When I drink Your wine,How can I not be broken?You are the wine, and I am the water,You are the honey, and I am the milk.Indeed, His love, Who Gives Light to the heart,Make the lovers sleepless all night,Without any sleep,Nor food.My friend, if you are a lover,Be like a candle:That melts all night,Burns in joy until dawn.The man who freezes in the Summer,Is not truly a lover -In the midst of Summer,The heart of a lover will burn the Autumn.My friend, if you have love,That you want to express,Then scream like a lover!Scream! Scream!What did you drink last night?Tell me, oh sweet sugary Beloved,Then I will drink the same -Day and night, throughout the years, all of my life.
