Ever since the day I came of age,
Ever since the day I came of age, both my eyes
Sing sweet melodies whenever I see you.
Every single day, I dream only of you,
My heart is forever devoted to you.
Every single day, I dream only of you,
My heart is forever devoted to you.
Hey girl, ever since...
Ever since the day you came of age, both my eyes
Sing sweet melodies whenever I see you.
My aunt's daughter, pretty as a picture,
Come close and give me a kiss!
My aunt's daughter, pretty as a picture,
Come close and give me a kiss!
Calling me your darling, calling me your man,
You should cuddle me like a little mango blossom or a songbird.
Female: No way, mister, not right now!
You must wait for the right wedding day for your playful games in bed!
You shoot arrows with both your eyes
And attack my heart!
Female: If I give you an inch,
You ask for the whole yard!
Male: My goddess's body is pure heaven;
When I come near, why do you bolt the door?
Ever since the day you came of age, both my eyes
Sing sweet melodies whenever I see you.
Male: My aunt's daughter, pretty as a picture,
Come close and give me a kiss!
It is wicked, it has no fear—
This look in a man's eyes is always up to no good!
Male: The flower sways, and two fruit buds sway;
Just looking at them, oh my, heat rushes through me!
Female: You always cast your net like this!
Male: And even then, you just stand at a distance and make small talk!
Female: Even though I am fully wrapped in my clothes,
Why do you struggle so desperately in vain?
Ever since the day you came of age, both my eyes
Sing sweet melodies whenever I see you.
Female: Every single day, I dream only of you,
My heart is forever devoted to you.
Male: My aunt's daughter, pretty as a picture,
Come close and give me a kiss!
