I run as a musk-deer runs in the shadow of the forest mad with his own perfume. 

The night is the night of mid-May, the breeze is the breeze of the south. 

I lose my way and I wander, I seek what I cannot get, I get what I do not seek.

From my heart comes out and dances the image of my own desire. 

The gleaming vision flits on. 

I try to clasp it firmly, it eludes me and leads me astray. 

I seek what I cannot get, I get what I do not seek.
