Oh Sun,
What beauty you are.
You rise from the East,
Then set in the west.

You shine on the rich
And also on the poor.
You shine on the good
And also on the evil and wicked.

O Sun,
The yolk of the sky.
It’s so lovely to see you set by the river side
And rise and the peak of the mountain.

O Sun,
What beauty you are.
