    "Shiawase" means happiness and "arigato" means thank you. "Wo" in general can be used to refer to an object or a person. If you put two and two together, it means "I thank you for the happiness".

    It's a weird phrase - correctly translated above as "thank you for the happiness," from a Japanese song by boy-band Ketsume

    If i am not wrong... Shiawase means happy. The sentence might be missing some words, but should means i am happy, thanks you... or something like that.

    Shiawase is "happiness" or "good fortune" and arigato is "thank you" (as everyone else said.)

    It literally means "Thank you for the happiness."

    It can be paraphrased to clear the meaning up as "Thank you for your making me happy."
