(extended & modified translation)

 

When I chant your names

That are sweet as honey

With all my strength and

With all my love

Is it my tongue alone

That sings to you

My flesh and blood

Chants with me

And the soul within

Sings with me

With boundless grace

My mother divine

When you listen with joy

The Sun and Moon

And all space and time

Reverbates in joy with you

I will sing thy name

I will drink thy name and

Get all drunk up with thy name

O Mother, my Mother, my Divine Mother!
