Moon over Burma, smiling above,
They say that you are the wonderful goddess of love!
Moon over Burma, heavenly light,
Wouldn't you smile in the eyes of my loved one tonight?

Tonight, steal into the song of the temple bell,
Steal into his heart like a spell!

moon over Burma, power divine,
Couldn't you go where my loved one is dreaming and shine?
And moon over Burma, tell him he's mine!

Tonight, steal into the song of the temple bell,
Steal into his heart like a spell!

moon over Burma, power divine,
Couldn't you go where my loved one is dreaming and shine?
And moon over Burma, tell him he's mine,
Tell him that he's mine!
