For true lovers,
this land is Paradise;
Those who know find mansions
and palaces;
Wonder struck and adoring
like Moses
I remain on Mount Sinai
where I arrive
where I thrive
Let the lovers know
I am the man who gave his heart to love.
Let the lovers know
I am the man who gave his heart to love.
I turn into a wild duck of passion,
I am the one who takes the swiftest dive.
I turn into a wild duck of passion,
I am the one who takes the swiftest dive.
From the waves of the sea I take water
And offer it all the way to the skies.
From the waves of the sea I take water
And offer it all the way to the skies.
In adoration, like a cloud, I soar
I am the one who flies to the heavens above.
In adoration, like a cloud, I soar
I am the one who flies to the heavens above.
I am the one who rules the clouds
I am the one who sends down the rain
I am the one who strikes like lightning
I am the one who punishes the angels
I am the one who rules the clouds
I am the one who sends down the rain
I saw the angels in the sky
Each one in its role
Of remembrance and of praise
I am the Bible, I am the Quran
I am amazed by you and me
O you, the desire of the desirers
I am amazed by you and me
O you, the desire of the desirers
You drew me so close to you
That I thought you were me
O you, the garden of meaning
That surrounds all my art
O you, the garden of meaning
That surrounds all my art
If I want anything,
it’s you, my deepest desire
If I want anything,
it’s you, my deepest desire
What can I do without you?
You are my fear and my hope
What can I do without you?
You are my fear and my hope
Yunus is my name, I am a madman.
Love serves as my guide to the very end.
All alone, toward the majestic Friend
I walk, kissing the ground as I arrive.

The earth and sky are full of love.
This love destroys the heart.
Who can afford this love?
Only this miner, with the metal of my blood.
Love is my religion,
I want no other.
Surrender – to the neighbor or to justice itself – is the realm of Beauty
The lover Yunus says the words
Blood filled his eyes with tears
Those who do not know will not be able to understand us
Greetings to those who know
