The morning melody I sing at dawn,
Hearing it, your heart falls into tune!
The morning melody I sing at dawn,
Hearing it, your heart falls into tune!
It sings a sweet melody every day,
And a river of honey flows into our ears!
The morning melody I sing at dawn,
Hearing it, your heart falls into tune!
All the clouds in the sky send their blessings,
Turning into mist and showering down as rain!
All the clouds in the sky send their blessings,
Turning into mist and showering down as rain!
Mother Earth bathes her golden body and rejoices,
Mother Earth bathes her golden body and rejoices!
May every single day be as sweet as this!
The morning melody you sing at dawn,
Hearing it, my heart falls into tune!
It sings a sweet melody every day,
And a river of honey flows into our ears!
The morning melody you sing at dawn,
Hearing it, my heart falls into tune!
Ha aa aa aa ha aa aa aa
When my queen rests upon my lap,
A tender, blossoming love flows into my beloved's chest!
When my queen rests upon my lap,
A tender, blossoming love flows into my beloved's chest!
A bed spread with flowers is this young woman's heart,
A bed spread with flowers is this young woman's heart!
Across seven lifetimes, this bond will never change!
The morning melody I sing at dawn,
Hearing it, my heart falls into tune!
It sings a sweet melody every day,
And a river of honey flows into our ears!
