Is this it? Is this really it?
Is this that very day I have been waiting for?
Is he the one? Is he truly the one?
Is he the groom who will adorn my hair with flowers?
As the daydreams I dreamt turn into reality,
I have become yours, I have become yours.
As my days move along counting down to our wedding,
I have become a sweet burden.
Without parting my lips, without raising my voice,
I quietly sing a song just for myself.
Is this it? Is this really it?
Is this that very day I have been waiting for?
Is he the one? Is he truly the one?
Is he the groom who will adorn my hair with flowers?
From now on, the daily playful games at home
will be so wonderfully sweet.
While I hide away, your eyes
will wander all around searching for me.
You will catch me at the bend of the stairs,
yet play it cool as though you never noticed.
Suddenly you will turn and wrap your arms around my waist,
and pull me into your embrace at the foot of the stairs.
Even fear itself will be frightened and slip away,
even shyness will feel shy and hide.
Is this it? Is this really it?
Is this that very day I have been waiting for?
Is he the one? Is he truly the one?
Is he the groom who will adorn my hair with flowers?
On Sunday afternoons, the kitchen will be yours;
you will cook with all your heart.
Telling me to just sit back and watch,
you will even wash the clothes.
While everyone in town trembles at the sight of you,
at home, you will pout and fuss like a child.
My face will glow with immense pride,
as the world of us both shrinks into a two-line poem.
My heart will blossom in pure happiness,
and I will feel myself walking a little taller.
Aha ha ha ha... Aha ha ha...
Hahaha haa... Hahaha haa...
Is he the groom who will adorn my hair with flowers?
As the daydreams I dreamt turn into reality,
I have become yours, I have become yours.
As my days move along counting down to our wedding,
I have become a sweet burden.
Without parting my lips, without raising my voice,
I quietly sing a song just for myself.
