Male: Jasmine flowers
Female: Inside the garden
Male: On all the blossoms

Sipping it with the lips, sipping it
Sipping it, sipping it...
Hey, you sweet papaya fruit!
My spicy tomato soup!
To your elder sister, about me,
Tell her something good!
If you don't tell her,
I'll drool all over you instead!
Hey hey hey!
Hey, you sweet papaya fruit!
My spicy tomato soup!
To your elder sister, about me,
Tell her something good!
If you don't tell her,
I'll drool all over you instead!
Are you like crispy fried potatoes?
Or delicious mashed yam?
You brew intoxicating toddy just with your eyes!
It easily beats
A full bottle of foreign liquor!
Hey, you sly, mysterious king!
My bottle of cashew liquor!
You are making a move on the side,
And my heartbeat is racing fast!
You are a rushing, overflowing river!
You are the perfect match for this little hen!
You sing your song with veins bulging,
So break your limits and show yourself to me!
Hey, you sweet papaya fruit!
My spicy tomato soup!
To your elder sister, about me,
Tell her something good!
If you don't tell her,
I'll drool all over you instead... hoy!
The swinging earring by your ear
Sings a lovely tune!
Even in the middle of the afternoon,
It fills me with sweet desire!
Looking at your ripe,
Lush young body,
Bravery is born in me!
This bloomed flower, ready for harvest,
Carries a heavy load of longing!
Men and women in equal measure,
Play their mischievous games on this earth!
I am the one who will sweep you away,
Like a champion bull tamer!
Hunger strikes, and once eaten it digests—
A woman is like a tempting feast!
Waiting right before your eyes,
Reach out your hand and get a taste!
Up on the hill, a little bird
Got trapped all alone!
Female: As the hunter stared into its eyes,
A fire was lit in the heart!
Got trapped!
Female: Caught fire!
Male: Got trapped!
Female: Caught fire!
Hey, you sweet papaya fruit!
My spicy tomato soup!
To your elder sister... Female: Mmm
To your elder sister... Female: Hahaan
To your elder sister, about me,
Tell her something good!
If you don't tell her,
I'll drool all over you instead... hoy!
