Let our worship begin
Pure joy is this embrace
Let our worship begin
Pure joy is this embrace
What I had prayed for all this time,
The day our love unites has arrived
The serpent has found the fragrant screw-pine flower
Swept up in a sweet trance, it surged with passion
Let our worship begin
Pure joy is this embrace
Completely forgetting myself,
I lived until this day
Seeing my beloved arrive,
I fell into your lap
Was it not for this very day
that I did deep penance?
Melting like wax over fire, I yearned for you
My love, what keeps me alive is your memory
Female: A destiny where two souls become one
Male: An everlasting union of the god and goddess,
a merging of souls
Let our worship begin
Pure joy is this embrace
What I had prayed for all this time,
The day our love unites has arrived
The serpent has found the fragrant screw-pine flower
Swept up in a sweet trance, it surged with passion
Let our worship begin
Pure joy is this embrace
Frightened of Garuda (celestial eagle),
the troubled serpent
sang a song of one-sided longing yesterday
My beloved's words
are like the music of the snake-charmer's pipe;
hearing them, my heart spreads its hood and dances
The cruel days have passed
Male: Flowers of happiness have bloomed
Female: The great fortune we once lost
has returned to us again
Let our worship begin
Female: Pure joy is this embrace
Male: Ah, what I had prayed for all this time,
Female: The day our love unites has arrived
The fragrant screw-pine flower,
the serpent has found
Female: Swept up in a sweet trance,
it surged with passion
Let it begin, ah-ha-ha!
Female: Pure joy is this
Both: embrace!
