Joy begins today,
In my heart, there is endless bliss!

Joy begins today,
In my heart, there is endless bliss!
Just if you look, all the flowers
Will pour out sweet nectar, pour out sweet nectar....
Joy begins today!
O peacock roaming in the coconut grove,
Is a saree even necessary?
Is that glowing in your eyes moonlight or sunlight?
Is it the secret of love?
In this gaze, will youth and beauty
Remain forever and ever?
To cuddle in your lap for all time,
Will God grant such a boon?
O leaping, bouncing flowering vine of pearls,
Cling to me and wrap around me on the bed!
Joy begins today,
In my heart, there is endless bliss!
[Male]: Just if you look, all the flowers
Will pour out sweet nectar, pour out sweet nectar....
Joy begins today,
[Male]: In my heart, there is endless bliss!
............
Like a flash of lightning from the sky,
It came and embraced my eyes!
When the king touches his woman's body,
Her dress slips away!
Ah, the body unveiled from its clothes,
Is more beautiful than any flower!
A body shaped from water lilies,
And coated in pure gold!
Passion pinches me with kisses,
And at the sound, her body shivers with delight!
Joy begins today,
In my heart, there is endless bliss!
Just if you look, all the flowers
Will pour out sweet nectar, pour out sweet nectar....
Joy begins today,
In my heart, there is endless bliss!
Just if you look, all the flowers
Will pour out sweet nectar, pour out sweet nectar....
