The rose plant that was planted…
Oh… yes… yes…
Has budded and blossomed today…
Oh… yes… yes…
The eyes that saw such striking beauty
Chorus: Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
Female: Is it standing there longing to touch?
Chorus: Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
Taking advantage of the rush and bustle
Shall I tell you a secret news?
Shall I erect a wedding canopy?
Shall I serve a grand feast?
The rose plant that was planted…
Yes… yes…
Has budded and blossomed today…
Yes… yes…
The eyes that saw such striking beauty
Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
Is it standing there longing to touch?
Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
The deer has beauty on its body
The peacock has beauty in its tail
What is beautiful in a woman?
Tell me, cousin…
Everything is beautiful as a whole
Must I describe each part separately?
Oh my… should great beauty be divided into parts?
It must be agreed upon and sealed
The blossom season will arrive
Now that the girl has come of age
A wedding is certain
Build a stage
Chorus: Oh dear, oh dear…
Female: Beat the wedding drums and rhythm
Chorus: Oh dear, oh dear…
The rose plant that was planted…
Oh… yes… yes…
Has budded and blossomed today…
Oh… yes… yes…
The eyes that saw such striking beauty
Chorus: Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
Female: Is it standing there longing to touch?
Chorus: Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
……………………………………
Bending its tail like that
Like casting a rainbow across the sky
Bending us into his embrace
He united us as one
Just as when the earth prospers
It showers gold abundantly
Smiling like pure gold
He looked at me…
This flower has matured
The girl has now bloomed like a flower…
She has become like the chariot of the goddess temple…
The days for her to sway gracefully have arrived…
Build a stage
Chorus: Oh dear, oh dear…
Female: Beat the wedding drums and rhythm
Chorus: Oh dear, oh dear… ohoooo…
The rose plant that was planted…
Oh… yes… yes…
Has budded and blossomed today…
Oh… yes… yes…
The eyes that saw such striking beauty

Chorus: Oh stylish one, oh stylish…
Taking advantage of the rush and bustle
Shall I tell you a secret news?
Shall I erect a wedding canopy?
Shall I serve a grand feast?
The rose plant that was planted…
Yes… yes…

Yes… yes…
