Oh graceful swan, my golden treasure,
Glowing softly without any lightning,
your mirror-smooth cheeks
tell the whole story of your desires.
My dearest one, my beloved,
as eyes meet eyes
and heart touches heart,
they unite and bond in love, my dear.
Oh my dearest!
Sweet as honey, my love,
why is this lovely golden bed made, my dear?
Just like a pearl nestled inside its shell,
it is for you to rest peacefully, my dear.
Oh graceful swan...
Shall I sleep, or shall I keep yearning?
Will you hold me close and never let go?
Shall I leap with excitement, or shy away?
Shall I leap with excitement, or shy away?
Shall I whisper a story never told before?
Come softly, come sweep me into your arms,
shall we lose ourselves in playful delight?
Female: Shall I take you in my arms? Shall I give a playful pinch?
Shall I gently savor this untouched fruit?
