Floating on the waves,
A moon is bathing, give me a hand!
For this bathing moon,
Her back is tingling, touch me with your hand!
My body melts, my clothes slip away,
As the water grows warm!
I don't know what to do,
I haven't even come of age yet, girl!
You are the one bathing,
So why am I shivering, tell me why?
My body has gone numb,
I've forgotten how to swim,
I've become so shy!
I don't know what to do,
I haven't even come of age yet, girl!
You are the one bathing,
So why am I shivering, tell me why?
Give three hundred kisses,
And move closer to me!
Oh no, I can't handle three hundred!
Even if you give them, it's trouble!
She has a fresh sweetness,
She has a fresh sweetness,
The nectar of my lips is free, come drink it!
Oh, the fresh sweetness calls out,
Look, the aged wine is boiling over!
I am not myself here,
Without you, there is no one else,
My clothes are nowhere to be found!
Floating on the waves,
A moon is bathing, give me a hand!
For this bathing moon,
Her back is tingling, touch me with your hand!
My body has gone numb,
I've forgotten how to swim,
I've become so shy!
I don't know what to do,
I haven't even come of age yet, girl!
You are the one bathing,
So why am I shivering, tell me why?
Ha ha ha ha ha
La la la la
Ha ha ha ha
La la la lala lala lala lala
Ha ha ha ha aa haa aa
La la la la la la la
Ha ha aa aaa
When passion takes over a man,
It brings pure joy!
For you, it is all fun and delight,
But my condition is terrible!
Give shade against the scorching sun,
Give shade against the scorching sun,
Give clothes to this peacock, my sweetheart!
Oh no, if I give away
The dhoti (traditional waist wrap) I'm wearing,
It's a pity for me to suffer!
Don't consult the almanac for the right time,
My body cannot bear the wait!
Even the water has lost its wetness!
I don't know what to do,
I haven't even come of age yet, girl!
You are the one bathing,
So why am I shivering, tell me why?
My body...
Ha...
...is melting!
Ho...
My clothes...
Ha...
...slipped away!
Ho...
As the water grows warm!
Floating on the waves,
A moon is bathing, give me a hand!
I don't know what to do,
I haven't even come of age yet, girl!
