I am young, I am sweet,
The one who belongs to you!
A girl of flowers, a golden girl, fresh and brand new!
Goddess of the mountains, goddess of arts, goddess of flowers, goddess of fortune—
A bride to make a home, come, come, come, come!
I am young, I am sweet,
The one who belongs to you!
A girl of flowers, a golden girl, fresh and brand new!
If the gentle breeze sees me on the street, it gets flustered,
If the moon looks at me up close, it rejoices!
With you, I... aah... aaah... aah...
With you, I will share my love,
I will live my life only for you!
As our two hearts unite,
A wedding procession moves along!
I am young, I am sweet,
The one who belongs to you!
A girl of flowers, a golden girl, fresh and brand new!
I will be the pleasant breeze that comes on its own to embrace you,
If you feel thirsty, I will be a fresh spring bursting from the earth!
You are the king, and I am the queen,
The whole world is our kingdom!
From now on, the world belongs to us,
And my heart is a blooming red lotus!
I am young, I am sweet,
The one who belongs to you!
A girl of flowers, a golden girl, fresh and brand new!
Goddess of the mountains, goddess of arts, goddess of flowers, goddess of fortune—
A bride to make a home, come, come, come, come!
I am young, I am sweet,
The one who belongs to you!
A girl of flowers, a golden girl, fresh and brand new!
