You came in the silent night
to fill my heart’s heavens with light.
I have absolutely no virtue. Yet you came.
You taught [me] to love.
To love all living beings.

The more I try to forget [you]
the more I cling [to you].
The more I try to forget [you]
I am indeed unable to forget [you].

That devastating flute of yours!
That devastating flute!
That flute, flooding both riverbanks 
hiding in the heart,
dispelling tears, fills one with laughter.
That devastating smile!
That smile which takes my breath away!
That flute that steals my heart!

Through all the seasons, through all the days
you are entwined with my breath.
And body with body, atom with atom,
you are entwined with my mind.
You are entangled.
With my mind, you are entangled.
And body with body, atom with atom,
you are entwined with my mind.
You are entangled.
With my mind, you are entangled.

You came in the silent night
to fill my everything with light.
I have absolutely no virtue. Yet you came.
You taught me to love.
You taught me to love all things.
