Nos. 15 and 16 - Entr'acte and Opening Chorus Act II - Day born of love
| Chorus: | Day born of love, Of gladness and delight Your moments soon invite to mystic marriage rite! Thron'd high above O Tento Sama shines. And laughing, he divines a lover's sweet designs! Ohayo! Ohayo! Moon by night and sun by day Tender beam and blazing ray! Ohayo! Ohayo! Watch and ward o'er lovers keep! Day to drink of pleasures deep Night for rest and gentle sleep Night for rest and sleep. Day born of love, Of gladness and delight Your moments soon invite to mystic marriage rite! Politely dress'd In all our best The wedding we await, And hope they won't be late, Or else forget the date. What would be done if either one Neglected to appear? If somebody demurr'd Or anything occurr'd With all to interfere? Before our eyes the prospect lies Of rich and festive fare, With cups of saké rare To toast the happy pair. No wonder then that maids and men Unite in Hymen's praise, And sing their joyous lays With blushes all ablaze. |
