I have surrendered to you,
O my king, my king!
One more wish I have,
Shall I tell you, shall I tell you?
May this beautiful moment
Continue to grow forever,
And when this moment ends,
I wish to give up my life.
May my body and soul, to follow you alone,
Continue... Ah ah ah ah...
I have surrendered to you,
O my king, my king!
Sa ri sa ri ga ma
Pa sa ni dha ga ma pa ni sa
Sa ri sa ri ga ma
Pa sa ni dha ga ma pa ni sa
Like a firefly in the open air,
You entered through my eyes.
On the table where I write,
You shine like a burning lamp.
Mmm, holding my finger,
You write the vowel of life.
Becoming my accompanying consonant,
You elevate the beauty of our bond.
Your silver heart,
Your golden yellow hue...
I forgot myself.
The penance I performed,
The boon you granted...
I attained you.
In that musical meeting,
In that sweet moment of joy,
Like a shower of dew,
I fell upon your lap.
Female: Ma ma pa ni sa ni dha pa
I have surrendered to you,
O my king, my king!
Like the waning moon in the sky,
I had been living until yesterday.
Today, as your revered wife,
I bloom in your thoughts.
Like a dewdrop falling on a flower,
I carried you in my heart.
The dreams you gave me,
I receive them in my eyes.
In your gazes,
In your touches,
I discovered myself.
On your flower-like lips,
In your smile,
I stumbled and fell.
Here, your fragrance with me,
My fragrance with you,
To blend together, without wings,
I floated in the wind.
Male: Ma ma pa ni sa ni dha pa
I have surrendered to you,
O my king, my king!
One more wish I have,
Shall I tell you, shall I tell you?
May this beautiful moment
Continue to grow forever,
And when this moment ends,
I wish to give up my life.
May my body and soul, to follow you alone,
Continue... Ah ah ah ah...
Female: I have surrendered to you,
O my king, my king!
