In this world, just as my heart desires,
Like two fragrances in a single flower, oh, in this life!
My love, because our young love has ripened,
Oh... forever, my beloved,
Glowing brightly like this, my heart,
Will grow each day, like music and melody,
Glowing brightly like this, my heart,
Will grow each day, like music and melody,
Like the fragrance of a flower, divine love,
Like the fragrance of a flower, divine love,
Because it has blossomed on its own,
Like two fragrances in a single flower, oh, in this life!
