[Men:]
Miyo and Yamaki we await,
Rapidly the hour advances,
Which it is arranged to celebrate
With the interchange of glances.
[Ladies:]
Presently we see them meeting,
Pleasantly we give them greeting.
[All:]
Hoping happy Fate
May bless their marriage state,
The Miai of today completing!
The Miai of today completing!
[Ladies:]
One little glance
Behind a fan, Miyo San,
[Men:]
Look at him quickly while you can,
That's your plan;
[All:]
That is a law of old Japan,
So peep at him, peep at him,
peep at him while you can!
Ah! Ah!
