My heart longs so deeply
to live a life like this,
a flower shower of love is pouring down,
drenching all our hearts.
The eyes that look upon us
will plead to join us.
The joy of living together
surpasses heaven itself.
Even a single day
is a blessing here.
Our home is our very life,
and happily forever,
playing right here,
is everlasting joy.
Sa ri pa ma ga ri sa ri sa ni sa...
My heart longs so deeply
to live a life like this,
a flower shower of love is pouring down,
drenching all our hearts.
Aaaaa... aaa... aa...
Oh... in our mother's face,
the divine presence of ten million gods
we behold.
Lighting countless lamps
in our home,
we will turn it into a temple.
Just to serve our mother,
we were blessed with this birth.
Even across lifetimes,
our family will stay united.
In everyone's love, our lifespans will grow.
Sa ri pa ma ga ri sa ri sa ni sa...
Sa ri pa ma ga ri sa ri sa ni sa...
My heart longs so deeply
to live a life like this,
a flower shower of love is pouring down,
drenching all our hearts.
Oh... like a painting where
hundreds of colors come together,
we will stay united.
So that all of history
will speak our names tomorrow,
we will live our lives.
For one another, we will bend
just like river reeds,
and to protect our unity, we will stand strong
like pillars!
Happiness pours down like a heavy rain!
{Sa ri pa ma ga ri sa ri sa ni sa...
Sa ri pa ma ga ri sa ri sa ni sa...} (2)
