Heyy eyyy eyyyyy ….
Heyy eyyy eyyyyy ….
O star that gives light, little star,
You are the light, the glow of a smile.
Beyond outer space,
where are you flying away to?
Oh, to cradle your feet,
the earth spreads itself wide,
and finds pure joy in it!
Come, my precious one,
Oh, mother of lights,
we welcome you!
Come, O mother!
Hey ey eyyy...
Hey ey eyyy...

The tone is deeply welcoming, reverent, and celebratory. By addressing her as precious gold ('thangame') and a source of joy, the lyrics highlight the immense happiness, warmth, and light her presence brings to the world.
