What He has joined in love, people, do not despise it.
What was truly desired, do not trample in vain.
My life, you, only you, as my
Life partner, I accept, I accept.
From now on, through storm, scorching sun, and rain,
Through calm evenings and green groves, let us walk together.
Beyond you, to think of anything else
Is impossible for me, impossible.
With you as the rainbow and her as its lovely colors,
Won't that very sky turn into a home, won't it?
Oh, when you two walk together as a couple,
Won't the evil eye bring a fever upon you, won't it?
My life, you, only you, as my
Life partner, I accept, I accept.
From now on, through storm, scorching sun, and rain,
Through calm evenings and green groves, let us walk together.
A glimpse of day within a long night,
And a touch of night within a long day,
We have mastered the art of finding them.
Where did we ever learn this?
Replace the earth, sky, wind, fire, and water,
Bring in brand new ones and plant them afresh!
With you as the rainbow and her as its lovely colors,
Won't that very sky turn into a home, won't it?
Oh, when you two walk together as a couple,
Won't the evil eye bring a fever upon you, won't it?
My life, you, only you, as my
Life partner, I accept, I accept.
From now on, through storm, scorching sun, and rain,
Through calm evenings and green groves, let us walk together.
Beyond you, to think of anything else
Is impossible for me, impossible.
With you as the rainbow and her as its lovely colors,
Won't that very sky turn into a home, won't it?
Oh, when you two walk together as a couple,
Won't the evil eye bring a fever upon you, won't it?
Ooh ooh oh oh
They say marriage is where all love gets lost,
Yet this love starting today is an endless sky!
