Two-headed Janus, opener of the softly gliding year,
who alone of the shining ones beholds his own back,
Bless our leaders, whose cheerful toil
provides peace to the fruitful earth, peace to the sea.
May you bless the leaders, the folk and the people of ADF
and by your nod, open the temples white.
A propitious light arises: attend with a breath of silence.
Now must good words be spoken on a good day.
