This beauty is extraordinary, like a miracle.
Has brought my lover to me

At night I creep in bed

And never sleep in bed
Despite being in bed, the speaker cannot sleep and remains awake.
But look above in the air
The speaker looks up in the air with joy.
And to my greatest joy, my love is there

She dances overhead

On the ceiling near my bed

In my sight
Within the speaker's view.
All through the night
This phenomenon continues throughout the night.
I try to hide in vain

Underneath my counterpane
The speaker tries to hide under the covers.
But there's my love
Despite the effort to hide, the lover is still visible above.
up there above

I whisper, "Go away, my lover

It's not fair"

But I'm so grateful to discover

That she's still there
The lover remains in the speaker's thoughts.
I love my ceiling more

Just for my love
