Why, oh why, is there a joy I have never known before?

Because our eyes meet in love every day,
and because they unite,
this joy is born.

All because of love.
Your very form is pure delight,
sweet pollen from the flower of true love.

On the swing of a fresh jasmine garland,
with the sweet babbling smile of our son,

with the sweet babbling smile of our son,
watching him play and rushing over with longing,
it is a joy like showering him with kisses.

That very joy is truly mine,
an everlasting bond of pure happiness.

Through love, sweet as nectar,

having been blessed with a son,
I rejoice because of you.

All because of love.
Lullaby, my precious little son,
when will your father return?

when will your father return?
Me, your mother,
and you, the shining light of love,
will he embrace us and bring us comfort?
