Lyrics

(Refrain)

There are numerous strings in your lute,

let me add my own among them.

​

Then when you smite your chords,

my heart will break its silence,

and my heart will be one with your song.

​

(Refrain)

​

Amidst your numberless stars,

let me place my own little lamp.

​

(Refrain)

​

In the dance of your festival of lights

my heart will throb and my life

will be one with your smile. 

(Refrain)
