Joy begins today
Why not smile softly, why not part your lips and smile?
Joy begins today
Why not smile softly, why not part your lips and smile?
Flowers smile on the vines, waves smile in the sea
Flowers smile on the vines, waves smile in the sea
In the night when the moon smiles, why don't you smile too?
Joy begins today
Why not smile softly?
Why not part your lips in a smile?
Taking the red from your lips,
Offering the face to press a kiss,
Isn't this the perfect moment to share?
Drawing out the sweetness of sugarcane,
To give it back again,
Isn't this a heart that longs for it?
Along the seashore, in the shade of the trees,
Along the seashore, in the shade of the trees,
We can share sweet words and find delight,
We can share sweet words and find delight,
As a cool stream flows by,
While I float like a flower,
Why did your gaze arrive,
Calling out to me, calling out to me?
Joy
Begins today
Why not smile softly?
Why not part your lips in a smile?
Waiting to sing a lullaby,
With a song as sweet as honey,
What more could my goddess desire?
Swaying in the swing of his eyes,
The face of this king of kings,
Isn't it intoxicating just to see?
Like a garland
Strung with pearls,
Does it appear in your sweet smile?
Glowing like the crimson dusk,
Does that lovely form
Urge me to come and meet it?
Aaha…
Mhum…
Oho…
Aaha…
Joy
Begins today
Why not smile softly?
Why not part your lips in a smile?
Flowers smile on the vines,
Waves smile in the sea,
In the night when the moon smiles,
Why shouldn't we smile too?
