Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
Looking so dashing,
here you stand, my man!
Look, God Himself
has paired us together!
Aha!
Looking so dashing,
here you stand, my man!
Look, God Himself
has paired us together!
Paired us, paired us, paired us!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
Fresh milk was boiled
and poured into a new clay pot;
Fresh milk was boiled
and poured into a new clay pot;
The house was left wide open,
and someone absentmindedly walked out onto the street!
The house was left wide open,
and someone absentmindedly walked out onto the street!
Two cats are walking by,
whispering secrets to each other!
Two cats are walking by,
whispering secrets to each other!
Staring wide-eyed like an owl,
staring wide-eyed like an owl,
swooning with deep longing!
Swooning with deep longing!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
Looking so dashing,
here you stand, my man!
Look, God Himself
has paired us together!
Paired us, paired us, paired us!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
One cat drinks the milk over there,
while this one aches just watching over here!
One cat drinks the milk over there,
while this one aches just watching over here!
It simply lies there and frets,
fretting and chewing on a piece of straw!
It simply lies there and frets,
fretting and chewing on a piece of straw!
Will a sly cat ever change its ways?
Can spilled milk ever return to the pot?
Aha, will a sly cat ever change its ways?
Can spilled milk ever return to the pot?
Listen to my story for a moment,
listen to my story for a moment,
and tie the thali (sacred wedding thread) around my neck!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
Looking so dashing,
here you stand, my man!
Look, God Himself
has paired us together!
Paired us, paired us, paired us!
Come, my darling,
I am your true match!
Look for our wedding day
by searching through the almanac!
