Notes

The lamp so bright,
a bloom that burns,
lifts gloom with light
till dawn returns.

A translation into Dutch:

De lamp, een kostbaar goed:
een vlam, als bloem van gloed,
behoedt ons voor het duister
tot dageraad, in luister.

The lamp, a precious item:
a flame, as a flower of glow,
protects us from the gloom,
until daybreak, in luster.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ЛАМПА)

Золотится лампы свет.
Пламя словно огнецвет
Тьму ночную разгоняет,
Пока утро не настанет.

The light of a lamp shines golden.
The flame is like a fire flower,
dispels the darkness of the night,
until the morning comes.
