A heart's beloved, beloved of hearts, soul of the gathering,
A heart's assassin, my allure, my allure.
A heart's beloved, beloved of hearts, soul of the gathering,
A heart's assassin, my allure, my allure.

Oh, oh, I find my dwelling in the hearts of lovers,
In the hearts of lovers, I have but one home.
What is a heart? The whole world is mine.
A heart's beloved, beloved of hearts, soul of the gathering,
A heart's assassin, my allure, my allure.

I arrive, bearing the evening of tresses, melodies awaken, my name they sing,
This echo resounds, always, beloved.
A heart's beloved, beloved of hearts, soul of the gathering,
A heart's assassin, my allure, my allure.

Who finds me, departs from the world,
Who finds me, departs from the world,
Who cannot, departs from their very soul.
A heart's beloved, beloved of hearts, soul of the gathering,
A heart's assassin, my allure, my allure.
