Spring is here, friends.

Let's stay in the garden

And be guests to the strangers of the green.

We'll fly from one flower to the other,

Like bees making the six corners

Of this earth's hives prosperous.

An envoy came from this fortress

And said, "Don't beat the drum secretly.

With our yells, we would tear down the place

Where that Love's drum is beating."

Hear that voice which comes from the sky,

"Rise, all insane ones.

I sacrifice my Soul to the insane.

Let's scatter our Soul today."

Let's break all the chains.

Every one of us is a blacksmith.

Let's go to the fireplace where the pincers are.

Let's fan the flame of the Heart's fire

Like the furnace of blacksmiths.

So we can have iron Hearts

Under our control with breath.

We'll put fire in this universe,

Incite riots in the sky,

Make his sober, resisting mind

Turn around, become dizzy like ours.

We are like a ball, without hands and feet,

Sometimes at the end

And sometimes at the beginning of the square.

Who told you we could do what we want?

Who told you we are independent?

No, no. We are like a club

In the hand of the Sultan.

We send hundreds of thousands of balls

To His feet.

Let's be silent. Silence is made

With some material like craziness.

His mind is such a fire

That we hide this fire by wrapping it in cotton.
