The sky is showering flowers everywhere
Joy sprinkles tears in the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and yours
As far as the sky reaches, we will go that far
Our wedding procession travels on
The sky is showering flowers everywhere
Joy sprinkles tears in the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and yours
As far as the sky reaches, we will go that far
Our wedding procession travels on
The sky is showering flowers everywhere
A pair of mangoes joined as one
Sways gently like a cradle
Saying, "Agree and hold me tight,"
It searches for the bed
The moment I touched your silk-soft body,
A wave of shyness rushed over me
As I stepped back, "Stay close to me,"
My heart whispered softly
Countless moods in your eyes, sweet nectar on your lips
Thrills in the heart, gifted freely every single day
When the sky meets the earth, we shall unite
The sky is showering flowers everywhere
Joy sprinkles tears in the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and yours
As far as the sky reaches, we will go that far
Our wedding procession travels on
The sky is showering flowers everywhere
For the bed and the art of love,
A sweet parrot yearned deeply
The heavenly paradise of the skies,
It searched for right here on earth
Ah, in a single sweet kiss,
The heart soaked in pure honey
In the tender sound of that kiss,
A sweet longing rose within
When fingers entwine with fingers,
There is such wonderful pleasure
When eyes gaze into eyes,
There is such deep joy
The glowing lamp of love in your two eyes,
Bring it shining to me
The sky is showering flowers everywhere
Joy sprinkles tears in the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and yours
As far as the sky reaches, we will go that far
Our wedding procession travels on
La la la la la la… la la la la…
