She is an innocent child,
A singing bird, sixteen years old.
Female: He is a prince,
A handsome god of love, may he live long!
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
She is an innocent child,
A singing bird, sixteen years old.
Female: He is a prince,
A handsome god of love, may he live long!
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
Tender youth asked a question,
And my goddess came here to give the answer.
What the secret of youth is,
My heart has now understood.
Female: What is this that unfolds as we go along?
What is this feeling that rises in this sweet intoxication?
What this wonder meant for me is,
Please explain to me a little.
In this happiness, aren't you and I
Left completely speechless?
Female: Whatever remains,
Didn't you say we would leave it for tomorrow?
He is a prince,
A handsome god of love, may he live long!
Male: She is an innocent child,
A singing bird, sixteen years old.
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
In eyes filled with tender tears,
I want to be the one who lives.
My beloved, my darling,
Will you accept me inside?
In the heart where memories live,
I want to be the one who dwells.
O my heart, my sweetheart,
Will you hold me in your embrace?
Shouldn't our longing for the sacred wedding rice (akshadai)
Come true and win?
Female: Oh my, in shy hesitation,
Shouldn't I cover myself as if wrapped in modesty?
She is an innocent child,
A singing bird, sixteen years old.
Female: He is a prince,
A handsome god of love, may he live long!
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
The gods of love,
The temple lamps,
And the wedding drums shower their blessings!
