If a gathering of beauty you grace, then a story begins,
If the wealth of love you cast, then a new world spins.
From cup and goblet, my thirst cannot be quenched,
But from your eyes, if you serve, then true bliss wins.

To drink from the cup, an old custom has become,
From the eyes I drink, the season of joy has come,
To drink from the cup, an old custom has become.

And a touch of foolishness in my own way,
To drink from the cup, an old custom has become,
To drink from the cup, an old custom has become.

To drink from the cup, an old custom has become,
To drink from the cup, an old custom has become.

The heart's courtyard, with fragrance, they did imbue,

Remembrance of someone, the night's queen anew,

To drink from the cup, an old custom has become,

A most intriguing story, we now receive,
