The bond of a wife lasts for seven lifetimes,
Who says you and I are separate in this?
Marriage itself is truly sacred,
And family life is its greatest joy.
Can the sky and the moon ever live apart?
The bond of a wife lasts for seven lifetimes,
Who says you and I are separate in this?
With betel leaves and areca nuts exchanged,
With everyone gathered to bear witness,
For all our sweet desires,
A wedding date was set.
With the sacred fire as our witness,
And our hands joined together,
Through both joy and sorrow,
We pledged to stay united as one.
In the classroom of our bedroom,
We learn the sweet scripture of love.
Male: The precious treasures of our children
Are the melody given by a mother.
Female: This is the age-old path,
The sacred guide to a joyful life.
The bond of a wife lasts for seven lifetimes,
Who says you and I are separate in this?
As a gentle rain of sandalwood falls,
And the moon holds an umbrella above,
Like the bright morning sun,
Our darling son will be born.
I will hang a cradle of gold,
And string a garland of diamonds,
For his tiny, toddling feet,
I will make anklets of pearls.
Our playful child, bright like the moon,
Like a pure fish in the holy Ganges,
Female: When he opens his little rosy mouth,
Sweet drops of honey will spill over.
Male: To carry on our family name,
Our precious little one will be born.
The bond of a wife lasts for seven lifetimes,
Who says you and I are separate in this?
Marriage itself is truly sacred,
And family life is its greatest joy.
Can the sky and the moon ever live apart?
The bond of a wife lasts for seven lifetimes,
Who says you and I are separate in this?
