Shed no tear! Oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year
Weep no more! Oh, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core
Dry your eyes! Oh, dry your eyes!
For I was taught in Paradise
To ease my breast of melodies
Shed no tear
Overhead! Look overhead!
'Mong the blossoms white and red
Look up, look up! I flutter now
On this flush pomegranate bough
(See me! 'Tis this silvery bill
Ever cures the good man's ill)
Shed no tear! Oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year
Adieu, Adieu I fly, adieu!
I vanish in the heaven's blue
Adieu, Adieu!
