Lyrics

It was midnight; I had been turned away from every door in the world.

I took up the old Divan and said: O Hafez, if any road is left, you tell me.

It was night, and the old ache in my throat began to beat

I knocked at every door; the night and the rain did not see me

I saw how easily the years gone by had broken me

My finger came to rest on the page of that old book

I shut my eyes upon the world, and my sigh flew from my heart

In that moment, from between the pages, a light breathed into me

He said: from every crack in your body, brightness has blown

He said: every night you broke, some hope came into bloom

He said: it was by these very tears that God chose you

He said: my voice, every word of it came out of your own breast

He said: from every crack in your body, brightness has blown

He said: every night you broke, some hope came into bloom

He said: it was by these very tears that God chose you

He said: my voice, every word of it came out of your own breast

I closed the book, and from my lashes a single drop fell

I saw that behind the windows the light had begun to run

Now it is I who have opened his book

so that whoever comes here weary might taste a little peace

I shut my eyes upon the world, and my sigh flew from my heart

In that moment, from between the pages, a light breathed into me

He said: from every crack in your body, brightness has blown

He said: every night you broke, some hope came into bloom

He said: it was by these very tears that God chose you

He said: my voice, every word of it came out of your own breast

He said: from every crack in your body, brightness has blown

He said: every night you broke, some hope came into bloom

He said: my voice, every word of it came out of your own breast

He said: my voice, every word of it came out of your own breast
