This is true joy in life!

A blissful night where two hearts unite, this is it!
As the smiling, lovely bed of flowers invites us,
And the gentle breeze sings a lullaby of love,

And the gentle breeze sings a lullaby of love,
Female: Knowing this, the god of love shoots his arrows,
Knowing this, the god of love shoots his arrows!
Both: This is true joy in life!
Come dancing near me, come playfully close to me!
My graceful swan, sweet as nectar,
My golden beauty, come running to me!
Come dancing near me, come playfully close to me!
It is springtime, when blossoming flowers offer sweet nectar,
Just like Manmatha and Rathi (the god and goddess of love),
It is springtime, when blossoming flowers offer sweet nectar,
Just like Manmatha and Rathi,
Being together as a pair and flirting playfully makes me feel shy!
Both: This is true joy in life!
My beloved, I want to be like the eyelid protecting your eye,
Like a ripe fruit resting in your hand, so our love story lasts forever,
I long for our dreams to come true and our love to flourish!
My beloved, I want to be like the eyelid protecting your eye...
Like a playful dark beetle roaming gently,
Your candy-sweet words blend into songs of poetry!
Female: Aren't you the meaning behind everything my eyes speak?
Aren't you the meaning behind everything my eyes speak?
Both: This is true joy in life!
Haa... ah... aahaa... ah... haa... ah...
Queen of poetry and music, my muse of arts, my auspicious one,
Queen of poetry and music, my muse of arts, my auspicious one!
Female: You are the poetry and the music, you are my perfect match,
And you are my life's companion!
You are the poetry and the music, you are my perfect match,
And you are my life's companion!
O flawless beauty, eternal light of playful romance,
O flawless beauty!
The divine nectar that cannot be found anywhere in this world,
Can be found on my beloved's lips!
The divine nectar that cannot be found anywhere in this world,
Can be found on my beloved's lips!
Female: Through our love comes supreme bliss!
Through our love comes supreme bliss!
Both: This is true joy in life!
This is the blissful night where two hearts unite!
