Lyrics[]
O lustrous gold
Glistening joy
Powers untold
You wonderful toy
Eye of the water
Shine while we play
Shimmer and glimmer
And brighten our day
Beautiful gold
Beautiful gold
Gold in the morning
Gold in the evening
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful gold
Wake, full of rapture
Laugh with delight
Glow in the morning
And gleam in the night
Star of the water
Sensuous joy
We lovely maidens
Protect you, O toy
Beautiful gold
Beautiful gold
Gold in the morning
Gold in the evening
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful gold
