Haa… haa…
Hey, enchanting beauty!
Come pair up with me!
Draw lots and see,
And give me a kiss!
Check every single slip,
It's only my name on them! Haan haan...
Come on, come, Cupid (god of love)!
This is a garden of flowers!
Why are you still wearing a veil?
Won't this rose shower sweet kisses?
I have blossomed into womanhood,
And fortune has favored you!
Celebrate this sight of me, my king!
The god of love played his mischief,
And oh, it stirs a restless craving in my heart!
Female: Haa… aa… haa… aaaa…
Once you enter the forest for a hunt,
Claiming you are vegetarian is just a joke!
Chorus: Haa… aa… Female: Hey hey (2)
Without striking at fish in the water,
It is no real crane at all, go see!
Without women in life,
There is no thrill—bring them on!
Like an open field of pleasure,
From now on, it's pure joy and fun!
To climb all the way to the sky,
There is no ladder on this earth! Hey...
Hey, enchanting beauty!
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Come pair up with me!
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Even before my teeth came in,
A mustache sprouted, oh man!
Female: Haa.. aaaa… Male: Hey hey hey (2)
Even before a mustache sprouted,
Desire sprouted in me—is that wrong?
Chorus: Haa… aa… Female: Hey hey (2)
Hey friends, like birds...
...without wings, come on, guys!
In your youth, without a mattress,
What good is a bed? Oh, get lost!
Does a wild flower
Ever need a lock?
Won't the earth welcome
These singing skylarks? Haa haha...
Hey, enchanting beauty!
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Come pair up with me!
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Jingu jaaku jingu jaaku saa
Draw lots and see,
And give me a kiss! Haan
Check every single slip,
It's only my name on them! Ee… ee…
Come on, come, Cupid (god of love)!
This is a garden of flowers!
Why are you still wearing a veil?
Won't this rose shower sweet kisses?
I have blossomed into womanhood,
And fortune has favored you!
Celebrate this sight of me, my king!
Mmm… mmm
Hey hey.....
Mmm… mmm
Hey hey.....
