My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
The moment you touch me,
is pure good fortune for this woman.
Every day is a festive day, we will live a brand new life.
I will worship you every day as my god.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
The moment you touch me,
is pure good fortune for this woman.
Every day is a festive day, we will live a brand new life.
I will worship you every day as my god.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
...
Just as the sun fulfills the lotus flower's longing,
did you dawn like that very day?
Giving me words to sing an epic song,
did you also give me a stage?
I will grow as slender as a thread,
out of longing for my beloved.
I will grow as slender as a thread,
out of longing for my beloved.
This young woman's body
Chorus: Aa aa aa aa

All four of my virtues search for you every day,
my budding youth embraces you and finds joy.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
The moment you touch me,
is pure good fortune for this woman.
Every day is a festive day, we will live a brand new life.
I will worship you every day as my god.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
...
Cool eyes turning passionate and red,
does he know those playful arts?
Spreading a marketplace of red kumkum across my chest,
will he perform that teasing game?
A loving heart is a blooming garden,
meant for my king to cherish.
A loving heart is a blooming garden,
meant for my king to cherish.
The sky will fold its hands in respect,
Chorus: Aa aa aa aa aa
Female: and come fall at our feet.
Flowers will pave our path, and bright days will come to bless us.
As we learn to walk together, loving marks will awaken.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
The moment you touch me,
is pure good fortune for this woman.
Every day is a festive day, we will live a brand new life.
I will worship you every day as my god.
My love, the silence is breaking,
spring blooms in my heart.
