Let us love the passing hour, let us hurry up and enjoy our time.

O time, arrest your flight! and you, propitious hours, arrest your course! Let us savor the fleeting delights of our most beautiful days!

And Love, our light at night and shade at noon,
Lulls us to rest with songs, and turns away
All shafts of shelterless tumultuous day.

We go on our enchanted way
And deem our hours immortal hours,
Who are but shadow kings that play
With mirrored majesties and powers.

When Time who steals our years away
Shall steal our pleasures too,
The mem'ry of the past will stay,
And half our joys renew.

Let hopes and sorrows, fears and angers be,
And think each day that dawns the last you'll see;
For so the hour that greets you unforeseen
Will bring with it enjoyment twice as keen.

Let hopes and sorrows, fears and angers be,
And think each day that dawns the last you'll see;
For so the hour that greets you unforeseen
Will bring with it enjoyment twice as keen.

We journey to the day,
And tell each other how we sang
To keep the dark away.

To some of us, the nights are too long. To some, the days.

There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And a grief may bid, and evening guest,
Bot joy shall come with early light

Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily
Enjoy them as they fly!

Translation: With you, I want to dance away the night
Let them stare at us, so what?
Everyone already knows anyway, that you also love me
So to spite everyone, lets dance this night away
'Cause life is so short
For this one night, I'll easily give five of my best years
He who dreamt his own happiness, does not count the days
This kind of feeling, I have today

A little insomnia is not without its value in making us appreciate sleep, in throwing a ray of light upon that darkness.

Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!
