...
There is such great excitement and energy!
No one knows what just happened!
Who is he? Who is he? Who is he?
Tell us, let the whole world know!
The reason you have turned so beautiful,
tell us what it is, girl!
Who is the beloved man
who will garland your heart?
The one who comes to share a life with you with deep love,
to find his joy with you...
There is such great excitement and energy!
No one knows what just happened!
Who is he? Who is he? Who is he?
Tell us, let the whole world know!
...
Right now, for him,
for him, for him, for him,
you are a grand festival to celebrate!
Every single day,
he will be your companion,
so go make your home in his heart, girl!
Without speaking a word to anyone,
why are you feeling so shy?
Even if you stay silent,
the mirror reflects your truth!
You mischievous girl,
oh goodness!
After you are
married,
will you pretend not to know us, your close friends,
saying you don't recognize us,
and quietly walk away?
There is such great excitement and energy!
No one knows what just happened!
Who is he? Who is he? Who is he?
Tell us, let the whole world know!
For a young woman like you,
to flourish in health and prosperity,
your joy will never fade!
Everything in the world,
the man who comes to give you,
stands as clear and true as a mirror!
Drawing patterns on the floor with your toes,
how will that ever do?
Your sweetheart will surely ask,
so speak of your love to him!
Without confessing, you act so clever,
playing your mischievous tricks, dear girl!
His heart
is your home from now on;
what greater blessing could there be?
There is such great excitement and energy!
No one knows what just happened!
Who is he? Who is he? Who is he?
Tell us, let the whole world know!
