Partial Lyrics (Translated)
- Come, come my Life, under the canopy
- Come under the blue brocade sky!
- Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
- I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
- I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
- I counted the stars till my finger burned
- Come, come my Life, under the canopy
- Come under the blue brocade sky!
- Taste it, taste it, this night is honey
- Taste it, and keep it,
- It’s a heart; the heart is the final limit
- You dark black kohl
- It’s some black magic, isn’t it?
- Come, come my Life, under the canopy
- Come under the blue brocade sky!Inkspillz: "Jai Ho" Lyrics & English Translation (January 1, 2009)
