O flower, little flower,
O honey from a little flower,
You are pure sweet honey!
O honey, my sweet honey,
I said I am your beloved,
And now I have found you.
My deer, my gentle deer,
I have fallen deeply in love with you,
Isn't this a song of love?
O honey, my sweet honey,
I said I am your beloved,
And now I have found you.
Somehow, somewhere, in some magical moment,
We live as one soul in two bodies.
When souls become one, everything unites,
With our love, we conquer time and rule the world.
The vast sky and this gentle breeze
Are just like our life,
And this living earth has set a brand new stage.
This beautiful way we live together each day
Will never fade, my love, my love.
O flower, little flower,
O honey from a little flower,
You are pure sweet honey!
O honey, my sweet honey,
I said I am your beloved,
And now I have found you.
Wondering when I will become you and you will become me,
A song of blessing celebrates that moment.
A flower garden sways within my longing heart,
And as its fragrance spreads, passion begins to sing.
Tomorrow and every coming day feels like our day,
It has turned into a golden day to wear wedding garlands.
I stood rooted like a tree, and you arrived like water,
This is more than enough, my love, my love.
O honey, my sweet honey,
I said I am your beloved,
And now I have found you.
O flower, little flower,
O honey from a little flower,
You are pure sweet honey!
My deer, my gentle deer,
I have fallen deeply in love with you,
Isn't this a song of love?
O flower, little flower,
O honey from a little flower,
You are pure sweet honey!
O honey, my sweet honey,
I said I am your beloved,
And now I have found you.
