Above the heaven blue
There is a city gold
With high transparent gates that lead
Into a radiant wall.

garden lies inside –
All flowers and all weeds.
There walk some wondrous animals
Whose grace noone exceeds:

lion with a red and fiery mane,
And next – a calf that’s full of eyes within.
There’s also a golden eagle flying
Whose bright gaze is [bad word] unforgettable.

And in the heaven blue
star glows in its bliss.
That star is yours, oh Angel mine,
Forever yours it is.

Whoever loves is loved.
Whoever shines is blessed.
So let that star from regions far
To the garden guide your quest.

And there you’ll meet a fiery-haired lion
And then a calf that’s full of eyes within.
There’s also a golden eagle flying
Whose bright gaze is [bad word] unforgettable.
