Binarmu menyalaYour glow is shining brightly,
Menyentuh lembuttouching me softly.
Tak peduli masaIt doesn’t care about time,
Kan abadifor it’s eternal.
Walaupun lelahEven when you’re weary,
Menyesali harapanand mourning your lost hopes,
Menari bersenanglahjust dance and find your joy.
DirimuBe yourself.
Mimpimu di dalam doaYour dreams are held within your prayers.
Yakinlah terjawab anganmuHave faith that your wishes will be answered,
Walau tak benderangeven if the light isn’t blinding.
Tak pernah kan hilangIt’ll never fade away.
Hidup ini semudah ituLife is just that simple,
Tak ku raguand I have no doubt.
Bersinar, lenterakuShine on, my lantern,
Bernyanyi yang riang bersamakuand sing a happy song with me.
Takkan ku menghilang tanpa pesanI won’t disappear without a word.
Beruntunglah akuI’m so lucky.
Terlukis dan terangkumEverything’s painted and captured,
Kulihat kau termenung sendirithough I see you’re lost in thought alone.
Andai slamanya menjagamuIf I could watch over you forever,
Mengarunglahthen go ahead and set sail.
