In grief You are my companion, in joy You are my friend.
In grief You are my companion, in joy You are my friend.
Do not hide me from Your view.
Do not conceal me from Your view.
When tears burst from pining or from smiling,

Do not leave me unattended.
Do not leave me unattended.

In the chronic cadence of dance, safeguard my garland;
In the chronic cadence of dance, safeguard my garland;
See the colored flowers that fill my wicker basket.
See the colored flowers that fill my wicker basket.
Approaching me with a tender smile, take them away with love—
Approaching with a tender smile, take them away with love—
Never hesitate or be reluctant.
Never hesitate or be reluctant.


Though I cannot give You what You want,
Though You may want what I cannot give,
Please do not ignore my humble offering.
Do not disdain what I can commit.
