Music is the voice of the heart

The sounds of music are balm to the heart, 
Who played it, 
To what religion, race, what nation, 
Searching, searching is a stranger! 

Most heart-poundingly penetrating, 
It is the sound of the call to prayer, 
the word of the Koran, 
Charming as an angel, 
Mother is a lullaby, Mother is a word! 

The sound of the spring, the thunder, 
Rustling leaves, raindrops, 
Howling wind, blizzard, 
Each is a note, oud! 

When a bird wants to fly for joy, 
Songs in his tongue like cranes, 
When you want to get into the heart of your loved one, 
Like waves in the roaring sea! 

Let the wishes be garlanded alone, 
May there be mercy and freedom in the world, 
Let a song be heard from everyone's tongue, 
May music be the crown of glory!
