My sweet one in tears,

I will never leave your side.

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Upon the garlanded

morning sun,

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Like an innocent child,

like a diamond,

my vow is pure,

and it is sacred.

In this lifetime, another woman

I will not touch even in my thoughts.

Without letting my heart wander elsewhere,

I will protect my love for you.

Tuning in to the gentle chimes of your anklets,

I will lovingly serve you.

Placing a kiss upon the mark on your forehead,

I will wake up every day.

Even if all my wealth

is spent, I will never ask for an account.

Whenever an argument comes to an end,

I will happily lose to you.

My sweet one in tears,

I will never leave your side.

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Upon the garlanded

morning sun,

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Like a thief in the midnight hours,

I will never raise my voice.

Even when physical desire fades,

my love will never run out.

When the monthly bloom of youth

fades away with age,

I will hold you close to my chest.

If you ever fall into the lap of sickness,

I will become a mother's lap for you.

Staying as close as your very breath,

I will keep you peaceful and comforted.

Treating your family as my own,

I will hold them close to my heart.

To make your dreams come true,

I will give my entire self.

For your life on this earth to be long,

I will gladly give my life.

Sound the wedding drums, sound the wedding drums...

My beloved husband,

I will never let go of your hand.

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Upon the righteous path

passed down through our mothers,

I swear, I swear,

this is my solemn vow.

Like an innocent child,

like a diamond,

my vow is pure,

and it is sacred.
