Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo...
With deep longing, my king will come to me,
He will speak sweet, tender words and fill me with joy.
With deep longing, my king will come to me,
He will speak sweet, tender words and fill me with joy.
Hoo.. oohaa.. aa.....
Hoo oo
Kneeling down and pleading with me,
He will say, "Come to me, my precious darling!"
With these magical eyes of mine,
I will work all my clever charms.
Under that spell of wonder,
He will dance like my puppet, and my heart will delight!
Hoo.. oohaa.. aa.....
With deep longing, my king will come to me,
He will speak sweet, tender words and fill me with joy.
Haa.. aaa.. aa.... aa
Hoo oo oo
If I flash a slight smile with my pearl-white teeth,
I will make him dance like a man driven mad with love!
With my enchanting beauty,
And the clever net of my charms,
Lost in his love for me,
His intoxication will turn into a sweet ache of desire.
Hoo.. oohaa.. aa.....
With deep longing, my king will come to me,
He will speak sweet, tender words and fill me with joy.
Jamakku jamakku jama jamakku jama
Come along in grand style,
The harem is calling you, please come!
We are waiting eagerly, counting on your kindness.
Look upon us, and grant us a reward if you please!

Chorus: The harem maiden will surrender as your slave...
Hoo oo oo oo
There is no one in the whole land like you,
Such a ridiculous clown on a stage!
A stage clown just like you!
O King, this disguise of yours,
Oh dear, it is utterly pathetic!
O King, this disguise of yours,
Oh dear, it is utterly pathetic!
A mere bootlicker dressed up as a king,
Our country will never accept!
A mere bootlicker dressed up as a king,
Our country will never accept!
