A sacred thread, a name it weaves,
My life's sole purpose, it believes.
May sorrow shatter, shadows flee,
Live a hundred years, and be free.

Oh, companion, now you hear me,
Oh, beloved, listen closely.
Oh, beloved, as twilight descends,
The moon, a thief, on silent treads,
Will steal in through the window's grace.
Oh, listen now, oh, beloved's face.
Oh, listen now, oh, beloved's face.

A sacred thread, a name it weaves,
My life's sole purpose, it believes.
May sorrow shatter, shadows flee,
Live a hundred years, and be free.

A sacred thread, a name it weaves,
My life's sole purpose, it believes.
Oh, sacred thread, so pure, so bright,
May sorrow shatter in the light,
Live a hundred years, and be free.
Sacred thread, eternally.
