Children: Goddess of all, bringer of peace,

Ruler of the universe, Goddess of consciousness,
Destroyer of worldly sorrows for your devotees!
This is a sweet day,
it begins so pleasantly today.
Welcome, O youth!
Fresh youth
has blossomed into music today.
Welcome, O seasons of spring!
For new pathways to open,
to accomplish everything we set out to do,
for good thoughts to blossom,
for goodness to thrive in the world,
O God, show us the way!
O God, show us the way!
This is a sweet day,
it begins so pleasantly today.
Welcome, O youth!
Fresh youth
has blossomed into music today.
Welcome, O seasons of spring!
If there is one person with love in their home,
come join our gathering!
Come join our gathering!
Come join our gathering!
You do not need to look to anyone
or depend on them for anything,
come join our celebration!
Come join our celebration!
Come join our celebration!
Carrying lamps of peace
here in your hands, come along!
With the light shining in your heart,
come shine bright in this world!
With a new thirst and a new drive,
come witness the new dawns!
This is a sweet day,
it begins so pleasantly today.
Welcome, O youth!
Fresh youth
has blossomed into music today.
Welcome, O seasons of spring!
Aha... aa... haa...
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
Aha... aa... aaaa...
The temple bells are ringing,
a new melody is born in the heart!
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
Aha... aa...
Aha... aah... haa...
Aha... aah... haa...
You who always seem
so ever-new,
when was the time you were born?
Even when explained,
you are a mystery beyond words,
how blissful is your divine presence!
Adorned with flowers,
illuminated with lamps,
we prayed as your beauty blossomed before us.
Applying sandalwood paste and stringing beaded garlands,
we decorated you with sacred adornments.
You shower blessings without us even asking!
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
The temple bells are ringing,
a new melody is born in the heart!
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
We came carrying lamps in our hands,
here on this auspicious day.
Our hearts became like little children,
in the light of your love.
