Singing blessings to my darling,
look at this flower blinking its eyes...
A simple heart, a tender bond,
a tiny little world.
This bond of love is more than enough!
Little bird, clap
your hands, clap your hands!
My sweet darling,
pearly sweet
kisses, kisses,
shower a few on me!
Singing blessings to my darling,
look at this flower blinking its eyes...
If I keep looking at your face,
looking at your face,
I don't need anything else,
nothing else at all.
If I keep hearing your voice,
hearing your voice,
that happiness is found nowhere else,
nowhere else.
My heart picks up a tune and sings,
every single day, many dreams dance.
The moon in the sky searches for you,
and joins in to play in our little nest.
Both mother and father are my brother himself!
This bond is more than enough...
Singing blessings to my darling,
look at this flower blinking its eyes...
The jasmine has blossomed,
has blossomed,
the water lily has seen you,
seen you.
As if made specially to order,
made to order,
a golden statue has arrived,
has arrived!
As love flows like a flooding river,
my heart rocks like a boat on it.
As the whole village sings your praise,
where else should I search for a world of love?
Your joy is my heaven,
this bond is more than enough...
Singing blessings to my darling,
look at this flower blinking its eyes...
