Chorus: Ah... ah...
To change the destiny written by God,
no one has the power.
The disguises worn in secret
can never become the truth.
What time brings one day
will change the next day;
even night can turn into day.
The sight that the eyes behold
stands as a witness forever.
Here, all desires and attachments are just dreams.
Long live the queen, long live the kingdom!
Thagu thagu thagu thagu thu...

Female: Long live the queen, long live the kingdom!
Chorus: Ah... ah...
The wealth you think is yours
should not vanish like a dream.
When you stray from the right path,
the guilt and sin will never leave you.
Justice in the heart,
righteousness in the mind—
love alone is the true wealth in life.
Wealth disappears without a word,
while true bonds stay forever.
These are dreams singing the melody of love.
Long live the queen, long live the kingdom!
Ah... ah...
Long live the queen, long live the kingdom!
Ah... ah...
Wishing the future brings only good fortune,
let us celebrate this auspicious day!
Ah... ah...
Wishing the future brings only good fortune,
let us celebrate this auspicious day!
Ah... ah...
