I do not know You and yet
I love You.
In Your name and song
I float in rhythm and melody.
I love You.

Your divine play is beginningless and endless.
Your movement touches the core of every heart.
On the dark path during stormy nights
You provide confidence, o dispeller of fear.
I love You.

I cannot survive without You.
I fill my heart with the sound of Your viina.
In my mind You keep dancing day and night,
With charming adornment.
I love You.
