This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
Come, come, come, my love, come...
Female: Come, come, come, my king, come!
This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
Shall I become the arrow to your bow?
Female: Will you take aim at this gentle deer?
Like a honeybee upon a flower,
Shall I transform myself?
When gentle fingers strum its strings,
Will the veena (lute) ever refuse?
Why must you come asking
For a gift of love to be granted?
Does a cloud wait for the earth to ask
Before pouring down its rain?
All our doubts have run away!
Female: Joy has overflowed!
Male: Our spirits have soared high!
Female: Our hearts have united as one!
Male: This is a song-filled epic of love,
Today is the day to sing it!
In the beauty of our youth, sweetness has blossomed.
This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
Come, come, come, my king, come!
Male: Come, come, come, my love, come...
Aaah...
Male: Aahahaa...
Female: Aaah...
Male: Aahahahahaa...
Lala laala laalaa...
Will you become the pupil of my eye?
Male: Shall I join you as your companion?
Wearing so many disguises,
You completely changed me!
In this girl's heart,
You lit the flame of love!
I was searching for
A graceful work of art,
And the moment I saw you,
I turned into a breathless statue myself!
The young man has won over the gentle doe!
Male: The golden hour has arrived!
Female: All good fortunes will fill our lives!
Male: The gods themselves will shower their blessings!
Female: This is a song-filled epic of love,
Today is the day to sing it!
In the beauty of our youth, sweetness has blossomed.
This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
This is the memory of one day,
This is the dream of many days,
The more I think of it,
The sweeter my heart feels.
Our wedding day is calling us,
It feels so wonderful!
Between you and me,
It is only marriage from now on.
Come, come, come, my love, come...
