...
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
What I wished for has come true, my dear!
I have received it, my dear!
What else can I say, my dear?
My beloved, holding your hand...
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
...
Little, tiny desires
touch me and speak to me,
making a maiden's heart blush,
where the fragrance of love wafts around.
This is the sacred offering made by Cupid.
A garland of jasmine buds
woven together at this hour,
draped in a fine silk sari,
a garden where we touch and behold each other,
at this moment when drums beat and music plays.
She who has grown into a beautiful
tender vine, my lord,
and in the fresh flower that bloomed upon it,
lies pure sweet honey!
As I sip that sweet honey,
am I not a protective screen, my dear?
Offering an abundance of pleasure,
I am the supportive shore, my dear!
Is it shyness, or is it heaven?
Will it come and go in waves?
Coming close to me,
it yields the full sweetness of fruit!
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
What I wished for has come true, my lord!
I have received it, my lord!
What else can I say, my lord?
My beloved, holding your hand...
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
...
Adorned with golden jewels,
bound by handcuffs made of flowers,
when the young maiden arrives,
all burdens melt away on their own,
and an intoxicating bliss follows!
Upon the bridal bed,
like a pair of lovebirds,
clinging close and singing together,
youthful hearts seek passionate love,
and in that moment, heaven truly arrives!
On a brand-new day
never imagined in a lifetime,
this is an art
that never fades on its own!
Blended together like honey and millet grain,
they have become one...
resting against his chest like a gentle doe,
she has become his companion!
My heart leaps with joy,
it speaks of unknown wonders,
my darling, my colorful beauty,
happiness overflows in abundance!
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
Female: ...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
What I wished for has come true, my dear!
I have received it, my dear!
Female: What else can I say, my lord?
My beloved, holding your hand...
As thunder rumbles in the sky,
as drums echo with sound,
the garland woven by the king of kings
is indeed the garland...
Male: ...that rests upon the shoulders
of this queen!
