Until now, the wedding night was only in dreams
From now on, many nights will blossom in togetherness
Female: The day that gives meaning to desire has arrived
The mountain I longed for has come as these shoulders today

Until now, the wedding night was only in dreams
From now on, many nights will blossom in togetherness
The clouds in the sky have showered their rain
Female: Happiness has taken root in the earth
Male: Along with flowers, the vine now bears fruit
Female: Along with the vine, everything has found rest in your lap
As you came into my lap, a flash of lightning surged
Female: Thanana thanana thanna thanana
Won't you tell me what this is?
Until now, the wedding night was only in dreams
From now on, many nights will blossom in togetherness
A warm embrace has just begun
Male: It is the melodic prelude to this love
Female: Is this quiet moment of solitude our own kingdom?
Male: Why this shyness? Is it only the beginning?
As lips meet lips, they sing a sweet rhythm
Male: Lalala lalala lalalala laallalala
Isn't a river of joy flowing through us?
Until now, the wedding night was only in dreams
From now on, many nights will blossom in togetherness
Female: The day that gives meaning to desire has arrived
The mountain I longed for has come as these shoulders today

Until now, the wedding night was only in dreams
