I want to be your Bodhisattva baby

I want to be your Bodhisattva love

I want to have a lotta

Of what it is you gotta

Got to be a Bodhisattva

Oh yes I do - oh yes I do

Don't want to be no Pratyeka Buddha baby

Don't want to be no angel in the sky

Don't want to disappear

Just want to volunteer

To be a Bodhisattva

Yes I do - oh yes I do

repeat first verse

Saya ingin menjadi bayi Bodhisattva

Saya ingin menjadi bayi Bodhisattva Anda
Aku ingin menjadi cinta Bodhisattvamu
Saya ingin punya banyak
Dari apa yang Anda harus
Harus menjadi Bodhisattva
Oh ya saya lakukan - oh ya saya lakukan

Tidak ingin menjadi bayi Buddha Pratyeka
Tak ingin jadi bidadari di langit
Tak ingin menghilang
Hanya ingin menjadi sukarelawan
Menjadi Bodhisattva
Ya saya lakukan - oh ya saya lakukan

ulangi ayat pertama
