Male: Sixteen years of age, beauty flowing like a river of milk,
This youthful age is wild and mischievous!
Chorus: Pa-pa-pa-pam
The heart is like a kite, and the waist like its guiding string,
As you pull, it wobbles and sways!
My rhythmic clap and your sweet song,
Youth is a flower-filled stage!
Dance along, ladies! Oh girls, don't you feel like it?
Sing along, girls! Just like that, let's fall in love!

Are you fiery young bulls,

Are you just walking away?
Chorus: Pa-pa-pa-pam
Shall I tuck a flower into your hair?
Shall I butter you up with sweet praise?
Shall I give you an encouraging pat on the back?
Laughter in abundance,
Generous flair in your style,
Is your graceful walk like a temple chariot procession...?
Dance along, ladies! Oh girls, don't you feel like it?
Sing along, girls! Just like that, let's fall in love!
Love is blind, listen to me, ladies!
Let's write a love letter to each one of you!
