Candle, oh candle,
Candle, don't you speak, oh candle.
What stories, sister, do you keep?
What stories, sister, do you weep?
Speak, sister, speak.
Speak, sister, speak.

Candle, oh candle,
Candle, don't you speak, oh candle.
A saffron veil upon your head,
How much more burning, have you bled?
How much more burning, have you bled?
In a single breath, the river of sorrow,
How, oh how, did you swallow?
Yes, how did you swallow?
Why do you drink the sorrow, sister?
Why do you drink the sorrow, sister?
Don't drink, sister.
Don't drink, sister.

Candle, oh candle,
Candle, don't you speak, oh candle.
Your own tears, your own shawl,
You are mad, completely mad.
Your weeping hides your woes,
In your grief, none truly knows.
Yes, none truly knows.
Why do you melt away, sister?
Why do you melt away, sister?
Don't melt away, sister.
Don't melt away, sister.

Candle, oh candle,
Candle, don't you speak, oh candle.
What stories, sister, do you keep?
What stories, sister, do you weep?
Speak, sister, speak.
Speak, sister, speak.

Candle, oh candle,
Candle, don't you speak, oh candle.
