Our princess, our queen of beauty,
she arrived as our entire world.
Stroking our lives with a golden peacock feather,
she brought a new joy today.
Maya, Maya, Maya!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
The colours of that rainbow,
did you bring them?
Maya, Maya, Maya!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
And that lovely butterfly,
is that you, is it you?
Just like a festival,
every single day,
our home shines bright
like a glowing lamp.
Whenever a worry arises,
a loving hand reaches out
to wipe our tears—isn't that enough?
We will treasure this in our hearts,
we will string it like a garland,
and inside this angel's home,
we will pour a shower of sweet honey!
This is our kingdom!
The whole town has become our family!
A hundred joys every day
all begin because of me!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
The colours of that rainbow,
did you bring them?
Maya, Maya, Maya!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
And that lovely butterfly,
is that you, is it you?
When Father
gently scolds me,
that playful anger is red.
Looking at Mother's turmeric-glowing face,
the family feels safely guarded.
With his pure heart
and gentle nature,
can anyone match our brother?
Truly, even that rainbow
has come together as a family
and lives right here with us!
This is our kingdom!
The whole town has become our family!
A hundred joys every day
all begin because of me!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
Maya, Maya, Maya!
And that lovely butterfly,
is that you, is it you?
