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
