The Mother Goddess showed her grace,
and made this man win!
Female: She chose you and sent you,
and brought us to embrace tenderly.
Yesterday, she made us think of each other,
and today, she brought us together!
Female: Yesterday, she made us think of each other,
and today, she brought us together!
The Mother Goddess showed her grace,
and made this man win, hoy!
Without seeing you, without asking me,
my heart is dancing with joy... hoy!
Male: Staying out of reach, without blinking,
the two are dancing with joy... hoy!
Should I pluck it and give it to you?
If you come and take it, will I stop you?
Male: Did I fall into honey?
Did I hold your youthful body close?
When will the two become one here?
Male: You must come and give yourself to me someday!
Female: When a grown woman softly yields,
and rests on your shoulder, what greater joy is there?
The Mother Goddess showed her grace,
and made this man win!
Female: Ah, yesterday she made us think of each other,
and today, she brought us together!
The Mother Goddess showed her grace,
and made this man win, hoy!

Hey my princess, without my knowing,
a sudden hunger has caught me... aa... hoy!
Female: Why, my king? If you just take and drink,
who is going to refuse you?... hoy!
It's a hunger kept hidden,
and once you taste it, it's so delicious!
Female: Two pots hang in the rope swing,
and look, this cat wants to knock them down!
This slender branch can't bear the weight of two fruits!
Female: Don't reach out your hands as you talk, that's not right!
Male: Knowing it's me, why act so shy?
Hush, girl, go spread the mat, my darling!
The Mother Goddess showed her grace,
and made this man win, hoy!
Male: She chose you and sent you,
and brought us to embrace tenderly.
Yesterday, she made us think of each other,
and today, she brought us together!
Male: Yesterday, she made us think of each other,
and today, she brought us together!
