When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
The moment you arrived was a blessed time,
a day that promised joyful days ahead.
I am your queen of love, your goddess of joy!
I am your queen of love, your goddess of joy!
When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
The moment you arrived was a blessed time,
a day that promised joyful days ahead.
I am your king of love, your god of joy!
I am your king of love, your god of joy!
I lost my way and failed to understand,
I stood apart and left you aching in longing.
I lost my way and failed to understand,
I stood apart and left you aching in longing.
I stumbled without realizing, but came to my senses and rose,
and only after you called did I come to hold you close.
When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
The moment you arrived was a blessed time,
a day that promised joyful days ahead.
I am your king of love, your god of joy!
Female: I am your queen of love, your goddess of joy!
Gather me gently into your arms,
and tell me sweet stories.
Rest together and bathe in joy,
take your rest and bathe in joy.
Glittering like silver, diamond, and gold,
why are your eyes dancing with delight?
Keeping sleep away, what thoughts are filling your mind?
Keeping sleep away, what thoughts are filling your mind?
The hook of love cast from your eyes,
how deeply it has struck my heart, my dear!
You are my youthful peacock, my darling.
The hook of love cast from your eyes,
how deeply it has struck my heart, my dear!
You are my youthful peacock, my darling.
Hold me tight in your embrace,
my precious girl who laid this sweet trap!
My heart is pounding, touch it and feel, my dear!
My heart is pounding, touch it and feel, my dear!
When evening arrived,
and you gave me a garland of love,
I became a garland of your own,
I became entirely yours.
The moment you arrived was a blessed time,
a day that promised joyful days ahead.
