Aha what did I hear?
Ah what did I hear? A honey-dripping name!
[And] my life was sold for a song*!

How did that name enter into the ears?
How did it touch the inner heart?
In the rhythm of the name alone, in sweet bliss
the overflowing earth took his shelter.

Swaying and swaying
to the vibration of the name alone
I have been washed away in its flow.
In the light of that name, smiling and laughing,
I remain merged with him.

O I remain merged.
Into him, I have merged myself.
In the light of that name, smiling and smiling,
I remain merged with him.

With the crimson colors of his own light
I shall color him in color upon color.
I shall spread his sweet name throughout the universe
in the absorption of sweet intimacy.
I shall spread it.

I shall spread his sweet name
in the absorption of sweet intimacy.
I shall spread his sweet name
throughout the universe
in the absorption of sweet intimacy.

Ah what did I hear? So soulful a name!
[And] my life was sold for a song!
