I expected one thing,

something else happened,

and my heart was restless.

Now the right moment has come,

giving everything a new shape.

The arrival brings sweet joy,

this bond is full of fragrance,

the outcome is pure victory,

and it all begins today!

I expected one thing,

something else happened,

and my heart was restless.

Now the right moment has come,

giving everything a new shape.

The arrival brings sweet joy,

this bond is full of fragrance,

the outcome is pure victory,

and it all begins today!

This very place is our own,

this very place is our own.

To forget our past state

and laugh with delight,

to join our hearts together

and relish the feast,

understanding this, embracing me,

shall I give you true bliss?

I expected one thing,

something else happened,

and my heart was restless.

Now the right moment has come,

giving everything a new shape.

The arrival brings sweet joy,

this bond is full of fragrance,

the outcome is pure victory,

and it all begins today!

The noises will fade, desires will begin,

the noises will fade, desires will begin.

A new feeling will awaken

and blossom with delight.

Growing deeper and stronger,

it will bring an exciting thrill.

One of the nine emotions of love,

the bed of flowers will offer!

I expected one thing,

something else happened,

and my heart was restless.

Now the right moment has come,

giving everything a new shape.

The arrival brings sweet joy,

this bond is full of fragrance,

the outcome is pure victory,

and it all begins today!
