You are my golden spring,
Tomorrow, a new royal life will be yours.
Aha... you are my golden spring,
Tomorrow, a new royal life will be yours.
The moment my doorstep welcomes you,
Heaven will unfold in the corners of your eyes.
You are my golden spring,
Tomorrow, a new royal life will be yours.
Millions of flowers all along your path,
Divine cuckoo birds will come singing.
Your dress is soft like cream floating on milk,
A gentle stream will bathe your feet.
Fearing the sun might burn and harm your skin,
The clouds will draw a curtain over the window.
Through the language spoken by loving eyes,
Even a crescent moon turns into a full moon.
Happiness will walk beside you every single day...
You are my golden spring,
Tomorrow, a new royal life will be yours.
The moment my doorstep welcomes you,
Heaven will unfold in the corners of your eyes.
A hundred dreams in the misty night,
Intoxicating thoughts in an innocent girl's eyes.
Your young body will bathe in rosewater,
Dewy flowers will drip with nectar when they see you.
In the rooms where you dress in fine clothes and jewels,
The fragrance of roses and jasmine will linger.
Until every drop of sweat leaves your face,
The gentle breeze will wave its royal fans.
A string of pearls will sway against your chest... forever.
You are my golden spring,
Tomorrow, a new royal life will be yours.
The moment my doorstep welcomes you,
Heaven will unfold in the corners of your eyes.
Mmm... mmm... mmmmm
Mmm... aaha... mmmmmm...
