My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,Although the world does not love me,
The world does not need me,
My Supreme,
I want to love the world,
I want to need the world.
If I can love the world
And if I can need the world,
Then I shall be able to blossom
In my heart-garden
With the purity of a lotus
And the beauty of a rose.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
