I Was Dead

I was dead, I became alive, I was tears,
I became laughter
The happiness of love came,
and I became eternal happiness
My eyes are full of joy, I have a brave soul
I have courage like a lion, I became the shining Venus

He told me: you are not crazy enough,
you don't deserve this home
I went and became crazy,
I was entangled with chains
He told me: you are not drunk,
go away, you don't belong to this circle!
I went and became intoxicated,
I was filled with joy

I belong to you, my moon, come and
behold you and me!
Because of his laughter,
I became a laughing garden
