I have become so fortunate,
for I have won my beloved!
I have won my beloved!
By the fruit of my good deeds,
I have triumphed in love!
I have become so fortunate,
for I have won my beloved!
I have won my beloved!
By the fruit of my good deeds,
I have triumphed in love!
Just as I dreamed, love has been fulfilled,
and I have won him, who shines like the full moon... Oh!
Just as I dreamed, love has been fulfilled,
and I have won him, who shines like the full moon.
I have found life's greatest blessing on this earth!
This is truly the Goddess's grace,
this is the blessing of our family deity!
By the fruit of my good deeds,
I have triumphed in love!
Swinging his sword and speaking of bravery,
swinging his sword and speaking of bravery,
he will teach the art of sword fighting.
When my beloved takes the horse's reins,
when my beloved takes the horse's reins,
and it gallops fast, he will grow weary.
My dear lover will return so tired,
he will come home with weary feet.
I will come running quickly to him,
standing beside him with tender love,
I will gently massage his feet to comfort him,
and serve him so he rests in pure comfort.
By the fruit of my good deeds,
I have triumphed in love!
Oh... his voice is sweet like a cuckoo's song,
he will sing right away and bring me joy!
Singing the musical notes of Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha,
he will soothe my heart and mind.
Singing the musical notes of Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha,
he will soothe my heart and mind.
Delighted by all his charms,
I will dance with joy to the rhythm of Thakadhimithai!
Thakadhimithai, Thakadhimithai, Thakadhimithai!
As I dance with joy to the rhythm of Thakadhimithai,
he will lose himself and hold me close!
By the fruit of my good deeds,
I have triumphed in love!
Oh... he will sneak up so quietly,
that mischievous beloved with thieving eyes!
He will steal glances with secret charm,
giving me hints with a cool, sweet smile,
and follow behind me without me knowing.
I will be overcome with sudden shyness,
and I will dart away in a flash to hide,
running swiftly, swiftly to hide away!
