It is the reward of the prayers I offered,
It is the reward of the prayers I offered,
For a good life to come seeking me,
For a happy home and marriage to come together,
It is the reward of the prayers I offered!
No, it is the reward of the prayers I offered!
For a good life to come seeking me,
For a happy home and marriage to come together,
It is the reward of the prayers I offered!
To be beside the lotus flower,
And experience the joy of love,
The sun has risen!
To be beside the lotus flower,
And experience the joy of love,
The sun has risen!
No, in the warmth of the sun's light,
To feel the truth of love,
In the warmth of the sun's light,
To feel the truth of love,
The lotus has blossomed!
Ah... it is the reward of the prayers I offered!
Like the sweet fragrance of a honeyed flower,
To reach a divine state of joy,
The gentle breeze has risen!
Like the sweet fragrance of a honeyed flower,
To reach a divine state of joy,
The gentle breeze has risen!
No, drifting along with the gentle breeze,
To feel a sweetness that never ends,
Drifting along with the gentle breeze,
To feel a sweetness that never ends,
The honey-filled blossom has bloomed!
Ah... it is the reward of the prayers I offered!
For a good life to come seeking me,
For a happy home and marriage to come together,
It is the reward of the prayers I offered!
