Ooh oh oh oh... ooh oh oh oh...
Across the expanse of the joyful sky,
We are birds soaring together in love.
Let us drink the sweet nectar of joy;
Our love will never lose its sweetness.

Let us drink the sweet nectar of joy;
Our love will never lose its sweetness.
Like a water lily brimming with sweet nectar,
I am a flower blooming over the spring of love.
Like a water lily brimming with sweet nectar,
I am a flower blooming over the spring of love.
Coming to taste the nectar under the glowing moonlight,
I have become a honeybee singing a melody.

Male: Let us drink the sweet nectar of joy;
Our love will never lose its sweetness.
Has the thought of 'I' faded into nothing,
And thoughts of you taken over my heart, my dear?
Has the thought of 'I' faded into nothing,
And thoughts of you taken over my heart, my dear?
Enshrining you within the temple of my eyes,
I have found my greatest blessing, my lord.
