O golden sky crowned with flower-like clouds,
Come, come sing along with me!
O golden sky crowned with flower-like clouds,
Come, come sing along with me!
Wounds that never healed will heal now,
Ah, honey blends into the breeze!
O golden sky crowned with flower-like clouds,
Come, come sing along with me!
In the lands of angels,
They call for the king of cuckoos!
With a hundred rings upon my fingers!
In the lands of angels,
They call for the king of cuckoos!
With a hundred rings upon my fingers!
When I walk down the streets,
It becomes a musical procession! Aaaah...
O golden sky crowned with flower-like clouds,
Come, come sing along with me!
O melodies of the night,
O lamps asleep in the eyes,
Please sing a gentle melody!
Ah... O melodies of the night,
O lamps asleep in the eyes,
Please sing a gentle melody!
I will make a veena (traditional string instrument) out of the rainbow,
Please prepare a bed of flowers! Ae... ae... ae...
O golden sky crowned with flower-like clouds,
Come, come sing along with me!
Mmm... hee-heem mm... mm...
