The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Well done daddy, we are ready now
Hold hands, hold tight
Gathering together and singing in chorus
Life holds ten million delights in that...
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Chorus: The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
...
Leaping and dancing with joy
Celebrating this wonderful day
We have come to give our blessings, my girl
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
A stream called affection
Taking root everywhere in the heart
A jasmine vine stands blooming
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Celebrating with a garland
Oh dear little princess
Adorning my shoulders, clapping hands... oh my!
Well done daddy, we are ready now
Hold hands, hold tight
Gathering together and singing in chorus
Life holds ten million delights in that...
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Chorus: The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
...
What is gold compared to you, my dear?
What is a flower compared to you, my dear?
Nothing can ever match you
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Showing pearl-like teeth in a smile
Reaching out tiny, tender hands
How did this rose plant arrive?
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
The maiden breeze feeding sweet honey
Lulling you to sleep
Comes with you to sing a song, my dear
Well done daddy, we are ready now
Hold hands, hold tight
Gathering together and singing in chorus
Life holds ten million delights in that...
The heart throbs with joy, singing a folk song
Well done daddy, we are ready now
Hold hands, hold tight
Gathering together and singing in chorus
Life holds ten million delights in that...
