The gentle breeze over the earth
is draping a golden shawl,
and the beetle inside the flower sings blessings of long life.
For whom is this wedding procession today?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
The gentle breeze over the earth is draping a golden shawl,
and the beetle inside the flower sings blessings of long life.
For whom is this wedding procession today?
The early evening is a new young woman,
and this is her dance.
Whispering stories with the night,
this is the season of youth.
Gently drawing close in warmth,
becoming familiar with each other,
the misty clouds
are sprinkling fragrant rosewater.
As meeting eyes flutter in love,
and joined hands perform a welcoming prayer,
the whole world is a playground of youth.
Ha ha ha
The gentle breeze over the earth is draping a golden shawl,
and the beetle inside the flower sings blessings of long life.
For whom is this wedding procession today?
Hey... ae... ae... ae... ae... ae...
This is the thought of soul uniting with soul,
this is a dream that will never fade away.
This is poetry spoken lip to lip,
this is a fresh novelty singing sweet melodies.
In the smiling mouth are ruby pearls,
on the beating chest are fruits of joy.
The whole world is a playground of youth.
Ha ha ha
The gentle breeze over the earth is draping a golden shawl,
and the beetle inside the flower sings blessings of long life.
For whom is this wedding procession today?
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
This is the union of a queen and a king,
this is a bond blessed never to end.
This is a sacred union where musical conches sound,
this is a heaven created just for us.
As the gathered bride stands enchanted,
and wedding drums resound on both sides,
Ha ha ha
Ohoho... hoho...
Eyhey... laala laa...
Lallala lalla lallalla lalalala
Lallala lalla lallalla lalalala
Jujjjuju jujju jujjjujju jujjjuju joo...
