In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
Every day is a wedding festival, all of life a grand celebration!
Every day is a wedding festival, all of life a grand celebration!
In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
........
In the smiling banana groves,
O flocks of flying parrots,
In the fluttering dance of peacock feathers,
Speak and show it to me!
That my beloved king-like lord
Will live for a long and blessed time,
Oh, speak to me of God's divine grace!
In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
As milk flows into flushed red cheeks,
And honey wells up in sweet, ripe lips,
Like a woman partaking in a feast,
The day has arrived to feast in ecstatic bliss!
Without even noticing the arrival of dawn,
I shall go on talking endlessly;
The entire night is pure heaven!
In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
........
The glory of light resides in the lamp,
The glory of the lamp resides in the divine,
The glory of the divine resides in the temple,
The glory of the temple resides in a loving family!
As I become a new Sita,
And he becomes the Rama of my heart,
May the lives of us both be beautifully fulfilled!
In the sky, every day brings a joyful sunrise,
A sweet moonlit night, an undiminishing moonrise in our life.
Every day is a wedding festival, all of life a grand celebration!
Every day is a wedding festival, all of life a grand celebration!
