I have a luck cat in my arms,  
  it spins threads of luck.  
  Luck cat, luck cat,  
  make for me three things:  
  make for me a golden ring,  
  to tell me that I am lucky;  
  make for me a mirror  
  to tell me that I am beautiful;  
  make for me a fan  
  to waft away my cumbersome thoughts.  
  Luck cat, luck cat,  
  spin for me some news of my future!
