Praise to thee, black nectar!
Nourisher of Flesh!
Nourisher of Spirit!
After Herculean labor,
After Samsaric tribulation;
Thou art by my side.
Restoring the blood in my veins,
Rekindling the fire of the soul.
Such richness, wine of cattle!
Such sweetness, fruit of Cocao!
Though thine luster be black as night,
Thine taste could outshine the sun.
Truly: no man, no king, no god,
None could find a drink more divine than art thou.
