May the sun fill your heart with warmth and light
May clear blue skies lift your spirits to a new height
May your nights be filled with the song of cicades
May you sleep cooled by a gentle breeze
May you never be without a shady spot
May you always have food in plenty for your pot
May your life be filled with many friendly, happy faces
And may you prosper in good health, love and peace wherever your place is
