On my birthday, in the current of the new,
let new light dawn upon us,
and, in the rhythms of the Lord of rhythm,
fill my life with new ideas.

Whatever You will give,
I will accept with outstretched palms.
Whatever You will say,
I will hold in my innermost heart.
Your life, I will offer back to You.
With Your name, let me be intoxicated.

The tender new leaves are now full grown.
Their reddishness has now become green.
I want to dedicate myself to serving all,
with renewed vigour and fresh strength.

I shall no longer sing songs of despair.
I shall no longer think of my life as a burden.
With countless rhythms,
with sweetest bliss,
let me carry Your message on.
Let new light dawn upon me.
