[Music]
Ah... The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
Chorus: Hoi!
Showering kisses generously,
She has come to see him.
Do not hesitate, do not be spellbound,
Come to embrace me!
The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
Chorus: Hoi!
[Music]
Like tender guavas hanging
On the highest branch of the tree,
I am your wife,
Pamper and caress me.
Placing cheek against cheek,
Tell me a story.
To entwine hand in hand,
Why be shy, my dear?
I am unable to sleep all alone,
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: When night arrives, I cannot bear it,
Chorus: Hoi!
I am unable to sleep all alone,
When night arrives, I cannot bear it.
The door at the entrance of my heart,
I am opening here for you now.
The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
Chorus: Hoi!
Showering kisses generously,
She has come to see him.
Do not hesitate, do not be spellbound,
Come to embrace me!
The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
Chorus: Hoi!
[Music]
Front and back, like a golden chariot,
She stands swaying gracefully.
For the cousin from Muthupettai,
His eyes grow dazed with desire.
Deep within, slowly and gently,
Desire leaps up.
To cling together and embrace,
The heart bids us.
All night until dawn, let us dance and see,
Even after dawn breaks, let us seek each other.
While the days of youth are still here,
Enjoy the pleasure yourself!
Sister's daughter...
The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.
Chorus: Hoi!
Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
Chorus: Hoi!
Showering kisses generously,
She has come to see him.
Do not hesitate, do not be spellbound,
Come to embrace me!
The young girl, sister's daughter,
Has come to dance.

Female: To lay a bed here for her beloved cousin,
She has come to lay it.
