« Golden bee, like the honey you've spilled,
What fate awaits you in this world grown still?
Within your belly, life softly resides,
Like our sacred mother, wherever you glide.
We long to lift you gently in our hands,
That future generations may understand.
Fly over rooftops, spread your shimmering hue,
In your presence, our wonder is renewed.
O bee, masterpiece of boundless space,
We celebrate your fleeting grace,
And hold in our hearts the hope so bright—
Your mystery endures beyond the night.»
