Sing, my longing heart,
Brother has come back to mother’s home.
Oh, what countless dreams!
Until today, it was your dream in my eyes.
Oh, what countless dreams!
Until today, it was your dream in my eyes.
Sing, my longing heart,
Brother has come back to mother’s home.
She has blossomed like a sweet fruit,
The girl with beautiful eyes,
As she watches her dreams
Becoming reality.
The wedding day may soon arrive
To celebrate with garlands,
While you bless me
And sing a lovely song.
Oh, what colors dance in my eyes!
Until today, it was your dream in my eyes.
Oh, what countless dreams!
Until today, it was your dream in my eyes.
Sing, my longing heart,
Brother has come back to mother’s home.
With a single thread
Made of pure affection,
I have woven today
A garland of love.
For many long days to come,
It will stay fragrant in memory.
Just as we imagined,
Everything will come true.
Oh, what endless thoughts fill my heart!
Until today, it was your dream in my eyes.
Sing, my longing heart,
Brother has come back to mother’s home.
