Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Every day, my longing seeks your doorstep
And sings a melody of joy
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Every day, my longing seeks your doorstep
And sings a melody of joy
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Lighting lamps in a thousand temples
Who is the God that people celebrate?
Making a way for the poor to live well
My life becomes a sacred guide
Lighting lamps in a thousand temples
Who is the God that people celebrate?
Making a way for the poor to live well
My life becomes a sacred guide
In this town, a single tree has become an entire grove
Lalala, like a village pond, it lovingly quenches everyone's thirst
Brought up to the stage and exchanging garlands
The poor will see their weddings come true
Brought up to the stage and exchanging garlands
The poor will see their weddings come true
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Every day, my longing seeks your doorstep
And sings a melody of joy
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
May God always protect us
May we have a life filled with love every day
Speaking a thousand words of righteousness
A caring gaze protects us like a comforting shade
This is a golden day when all our wishes come within reach
From now on, the days we live will blossom with joy
Our family is a garden of love
We are the sweet, dew-kissed blossoms
Every day, my longing seeks your doorstep
And sings a melody of joy
