This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
Come, my love, into my lap
Come, my darling, into my hand
To complete our marriage
This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
...
Inseparable, pitch and rhythm mingle together
A brand new song and poem are born
Male: You may flash like lightning in the sky
Shall we step onto the stage adorned in ornate robes?
Female: As the golden body chills and passion grows
Male: Can each heart find sanctuary with the other?
This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
Come, my love, into my lap
Come, my darling, into my hand
To complete our marriage...
This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
As I gently brush against you, it feels so soothing
As we continuously embrace, it becomes so tender
Male: The ripe red fruit dancing endlessly in my eyes
The precious jewel I wear every single day
Female: As hands touch above and below
Male: Will the sweet poem written by youth be understood?
This sky
Female: That cloud
Male: Uniting together
Female: An auspicious time
...
The young peacock eagerly waits to learn romance
As longing plays with the night, the body breaks into sweat
Male: Spread the mat, let us tangle until our desires are spent
Let us bathe in love until the dawn melody plays
Female: My beginning and end are entirely yours
Male: Will you grant space to draw you close and embrace?
This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
Come, my love, into my lap
Come, my darling, into my hand
To complete our marriage...
This sky and that cloud
Unite in an auspicious moment
