Sanziene1night
In the moonlight
Who my soulmate is
Today I'll be told.
I'll throw the garland
Of flowers over the gate
And I'll know
Where my soulmate's steps carry him.
Chorus:
Sanziene night
The fire burns on the torches
I'll read in the flames
Where my luck is.
All night until dawn
I'll read in fire and in flowers
I'll read and I'll bewitch
To figure out what will be.
Sanziene night
The moon dances,
The little magic song
Resonates through the woods.
The young boys
Jump over the flames and the fire burns them
Luck will come
When its time comes.
