Like an auspicious lamp, like the pride of this home,
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
In my sky, you are the white moon...
Are those stars shining in your eyes?
Oh chariot that came to shower light,
Oh sweet honey flowing in my heart!
Like an auspicious lamp, like the pride of this home,
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
Flowers of many colors are singing songs,
Why are they spilling sweet nectar?
It is because the flower yearns for you,
A bee upon the flower,
Filled with sweet intoxication,
Why is it stumbling and swaying?
Its intoxication is singing a lovely tune.
You arrived like springtime to a garden,
You became the joy of all my mornings,
As you offer your love, and I receive your warmth,
Like an auspicious lamp, like the pride of this home,
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
A secret dream, a night of sweet delight,
Why does it tease and torment us?
Why does it kindle such warmth?
Male: A moon wearing a bindi, a brand-new bond,
Why does it hesitate today?
It is only serving sweet pleasure.
Bright light floods the courtyard on this full moon night,
The sweet parrot feels shy to receive a kiss,
Male: As I gently gather you in my arms, and shyness pinches you,
Like an auspicious lamp, like the pride of this home,
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
Male: In my sky, you are the white moon...
Are those stars shining in your eyes?
Female: I was born just for you,
I will always rest upon your shoulders!
Like an auspicious lamp, like the pride of this home,
The moment you arrived, I sing this melody.
