Blow on me, northerlyΒ breeze Dry my watery eyelids From the tears that drop Like the Arabian trees Cry their medicinal gum.
Oh, summer aroma That does justice to break my defiance against this heat. Heated affair, may you incinerate in the Sahara, And chill to death as the night approaches in that barren landscape.
But here I lie Bored, invisible in the haughty summer And behind those darkened forests Begins a steady haunted drummer.
