Vesak

Lanterns of red and blue,
Lanterns of green and white,
Hang on a line,
Dancing in the wind,
To celebrate the birth of Lord Buddha.

Lights of red and blue,
Lights of green and white,
Hang on a line,
Dancing in the wind,
To celebrate the enlightenment of Lord Buddha.

Buckets of red and blue,
Buckets of green and white,
Hang on a line,
Dancing in the wind,
To celebrate the death of Lord Buddha.

Lanterns and lights,
Buckets and pandals,
All lit by children,
To celebrate Vesak.
