LYRICS/QUOTE:

Ó synu bytí (x4)

Tys Moje lampa a Mé světlo je v tobě

Z něho čerpej svou záři

A nehledej jiného než Mne

Než Mne (x3)

Neboť jsem tě stvořil bohatého

A štědře tě zahrnul svou přízní

O Son of Being! Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee. Get thou from it thy radiance and seek none other than Me. For I have created thee rich and have bountifully shed My favor upon thee.
