I know, the way it could be!
When you have, had not a drink of love
I know, the way you can be!
It’s that strange, strange look in your eyes!
Yes, I do know — that is why, as Hafez says: bring on your cup, near to me
Bring your heart, near to me
Yes, so, so near to me!
I know, the way you can be
When you have, had not a drink of love!
I know the way, the way you look at me
Even the angels, fear the look in your eyes!
I know, that is why, as Hafez says —
Bring on your cup, near to me
Bring on your heart, next to me
Near to me, Oh, so near to me! Yes, very close to me!
Note: A paraphrasing of Hafez, and recited as a song.
