May you be joyous, may you be blessed,
May you be joyous, may you be blessed.

May I not see tears in your eyes,
Lifting my hands, this prayer to the Lord,
Lifting my hands, this prayer to the Lord.

I seek day and night, O Lord,
What is this secret, O Lord?
What is this secret?

My drum, your anklets,
My drum, your anklets,
Resound as one,
O Lord, what is this secret?
O Lord, what is this secret?

Aa aa aa aa
The fair of songs has vanished,
The fair of songs has vanished,
How alone I am without you.

I weep when I place,
I weep when I place,
My hand upon this drum.
