-Await, to extend to you a royal welcome
+With sandal perfume and tonal accord,
-With sandal and chua paste.
+To welcome You most ardently,
-Here i sit
+The bumblebees are gathering.
-Amidst this rejoicing world
+Spellbound by this very atmosphere,
-Composing songs of devotion to you.
+I compose my songs to Thee.
