Tere minnan minnan tere

 

How many grains of rice

Will make a mighty feast

Mighty feat

How many grains of rice

Will make a mighty feast

 

Tere pampa tere pampa

 

How many fireflies of the King

Will illuminate our night

Illuminate our night

Illuminate  our night

How many fireflies of the King

Tere pampa tere pampa

 

How many whispers behind the walls

Will rouse the streets to riot

Streets to riot

Streets to riot

How many whispers behind the walls

Will rouse the streets to riot

 

Tere pampa tere pampa

 

A very little prayer

Is better than a mighty curse

Mighty curse

Mighty curse

A little, little prayer

Is better than a mighty curse

 

Tere pampa tere pampa

 

I sometimes close my eyes

That I may see ahead

Far ahead

Far ahead

I sometimes close my eyes

That I my see far ahead

 

Tere pampa tere pampa

Tere minnan minnan tere
