Moon, I swear you created
To light up going down the drain;
For them one needs to Shine
In the mirror bottomless pockets
And, leaving the window
Lattices silver trail
Lash touch sleepy,
Whispering that dawn is coming.

Though aptly aiming Cupid
I am protected from the arrows.
My spirit is impassive, my gaze is sullen,
The sadness is my destiny.
The pleasure young girl
A trap for men.
The temptations beauty defying,
I lurk alone.

What me worry
Dangerous magic
The fate of the first to bless
And curse then?
Before the death of Phoenix alone
He is the master.
Without the dove the dove,
And I shall die one.
