Manakala mentari tua
Telah berpijar
Manakala bulan nan genit
Enggan tersenyum
Berkelap kelip tiada terbayang
Tersendat-sendat merayap dalam kegelapan
Hitam kini hitam nanti
Gelap kini akankah silih berganti
Chorus
Dan kau lilin-lilin kecil
Sanggupkah kau mengganti
Sanggupkah kau memberi
Seberkas cahaya
Dan kau lilin-lilin kecil
Sanggupkah kau berpijar
Sanggupkah kau menyengat
Seisi dunia
Oh...manakala bulan nan tua
Semakin renta
Manakala bintang-bintang pun
Turut menangis
Menatap langit nan makin kelam
Perlahan-lahan memudar
Lalu semua musnah hitam
