Why sell your wine, merchant?

What can you give in Exchange for your wine?

Money? … And what can give you money?

Power? … As you are not the owner of the world

When you have in your hands a cup?

Wealth? … Is there someone richer than you,

you in your Cup have gold, rubies, pearls and dreams?

Love? … Do not feel to ignite the blood in your veins

When the Cup kisses your lips;

they are not so sweet wine kisses

If you would like the most enthusiastic of the huri?

So if all you have it in the wine,

tell me merchant: why do sell you?

Poet, because sending all my wine,

I give power, wealth, dreams, love…;

because when tight in your arms the beloved,

I remember;

because when want to wish happiness to the friend,

raise your glass;

because God when he blessed the water transformed it into wine,

and because when he blessed the wine it was transformed into blood…

If I offer my wine, poet…

Do not call me trader!
