Come, O father, hurry-the sweets haven't been spilled yet
Come, O father, hurry-the sweets haven't been spilled yet

Don't prolong the wedding, For the drink is ready
For the drink is ready

--

O father, we await in the church your arrival
O father, we await in the church your arrival

Come early so we may begin, and say, may God do
We'll give you a promise and offer a lot of gifts
Chickens, eggs, sweets, and a pot of wheat we'll fill
And a pot of wheat we'll fill

--

Our bride deserves beauty and patience so true
Our bride deserves beauty and patience so true

It is true those that say "two sides / parts come to her"
The groom stands beside her, his heart full of love
He let go of his tension and is calm tonight
And is calm tonight

--

A thousand blessings upon you both for your wedding
A thousand blessings upon you both for your wedding

Tonight we'll drink together, till the morning
Together we'll dance hand in hand
And from our hearts, we'll wish them a pair of children
We'll wish them a pair of children

Come, O father, hurry-the sweets haven't been spilled yet
Come, O father, hurry-the sweets haven't been spilled yet

Don't prolong the wedding, For the drink is ready
For the drink is ready, for the drink is ready
