O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
Wishing everyone well,
sing your melody every day.
Upon the thread of kinship,
string a garland and offer it.
It will spread across the world—
tell them that is its fragrance.
O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
Wishing everyone well,
sing your melody every day.
This is not just a house,
I would call it a temple.
To serve here always,
I too have arrived.
To the husband who wed me with a garland,
I will be the apple of his eye,
and a good woman whom all the family
praises every single day.
Without any flaws or faults...
I will live a blameless life and prove it.
My family and these bonds of love
are my everlasting joy and delight!
O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
Wishing everyone well,
sing your melody every day.
Upon the thread of kinship,
string a garland and offer it.
It will spread across the world—
tell them that is its fragrance.
O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
All the people
living on this earth are my kin.
All the sweet, babbling
children are my true wealth.
No eye should ever
shed a single tear.
If I see anyone weep,
my heart cannot bear it.
Free of sorrow...
I will pray for a life free of sorrow.
Which path did I come from?
The very path the flower breeze took.
O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
Wishing everyone well,
sing your melody every day.
Upon the thread of kinship,
string a garland and offer it.
It will spread across the world—
tell them that is its fragrance.
O joyful flower breeze,
this whole town is your home.
Wishing everyone well,
sing your melody every day.
