I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

I came to shower flowers,

and ended up wearing flowers myself.

I came to shower flowers,

and ended up wearing flowers myself.

I came to enjoy the feast,

and became the feast myself.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

Saying your heart is pure as milk,

I offer you milk.

Saying your body is sweet as fruit,

I offer you fruit.

Saying your heart is pure as milk,

I offer you milk.

Saying your body is sweet as fruit,

I offer you fruit.

I offered you sandalwood,

and whispered a sweet charm with it.

To hold you close and sing a song,

I gave myself to you as well.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

I came to shower flowers,

and ended up wearing flowers myself.

I came to enjoy the feast,

and became the feast myself.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

The bridegroom's heart

is a tender, loving heart—

a home where this blessed woman lives,

such a beautiful home.

The bridegroom's heart

is a tender, loving heart—

a home where this blessed woman lives,

such a beautiful home.

What we saw back then was one thing,

what we see today is something else.

What we saw back then was one thing,

what we see today is something else.

May the joy of our bed grow and flourish

for a hundred years.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.

I came to shower flowers,

and ended up wearing flowers myself.

I came to enjoy the feast,

and became the feast myself.

I came to watch a wedding,

and I became the bride myself.
