Hey, pack away your impatience,
My eager, loving darling!
Chorus: Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy!
Female: If the wind blows too hard, it will wither,
This blooming mango blossom!
Can you touch me gently, softly, and in a brand new way?
Come on, my darling, she is just a tender young girl,
Male: Hey!
Female: Give me one kiss, darling, she is like a tender banana sapling!
Ah... ah... ah...
