With a colorful horse as my ride,
I will come in a grand procession!
Let the rain clouds of winter
Sing brand-new melodies from now on!
I will turn every trial that comes into a great achievement!
Oh Preethi, oh Preethi, oh Preethi, oh Preethi...
With a colorful horse as my ride,
I will come in a grand procession!
Let the rain clouds of winter
Sing brand-new melodies from now on!
I will turn every trial that comes into a great achievement!
Oh Preethi, oh Preethi, oh Preethi, oh Preethi...
Trusting that tomorrow a gentle breeze will blow in our garden,
Let us have faith, my friend, the God of Justice is there!
Trusting that tomorrow a gentle breeze will blow in our garden,
Let us have faith, my friend, the God of Justice is there!
Let our dawn melody be heard, let our morning sky break!
All those clouds are our witness, the future will be our reign!
All those clouds are our witness, the future will be our reign!
Oh Preethi, oh Preethi, hey Preethi, oh Preethi...
With a colorful horse as my ride,
I will come in a grand procession!
Let the rain clouds of winter
Sing brand-new melodies from now on!
I will turn every trial that comes into a great achievement!
Ha... ha...
Across the woods and hills, your feet will race,
And when you run, who could ever defeat you?
Across the woods and hills, your feet will race,
And when you run, who could ever defeat you?
For me to travel everywhere,
For my name to live on forever,
When I have you as my companion, what worry could I have?
When I have you as my companion, what worry could I have?
Oh Preethi, hey Preethi, oh Preethi, hey Preethi...
With a colorful horse as my ride,
I will come in a grand procession!
Let the rain clouds of winter
Sing brand-new melodies from now on!
I will turn every trial that comes into a great achievement!
Oh Preethi, hey Preethi, oh Preethi, hey Preethi... Preethi...
