B:Ugdass yeta maka bhurgeaponna vello, sangatan bhonvo 
Hatak hath dhorun, dogaim vengent ami ravo 
Bhurgeaponna vello mog vho amcho, aiz ek zaunk pavlo 
Altara mukhar zurar zatam, sodanch zatolo tuzo

No dia do casamento, seria so tua 
Juramos perante Deus que ate a morte seremos fieis, 
e dissemos isto deante do altar

on the day of Marriage, it would be only yours. 
We swear before God, up to the death we will one 
And we said this infront of the altar )

G. O Coracao encheu de Alegria, tu ja es so meu 
(My heart filled with Joy, you are already mine ) 

B: I will dance with you darling till the stars and the moon retire, 
and I will keep on loving you, forever and ever. 
G: Sempre te serei fiel, jurei perante O Altar 
(Even I will always be loyal, I swear before the altar)
