This heart
Female: Is this what youth feels like?
Oh river, to bathe in your waters,
I called out to you
Oh flower, to wear you close,
I waited for the day
For tomorrow when we become one,
I kept waiting longing for you
Oh gentle breeze, the moment I saw you,
I held your hand
My dear, captivated by your beauty,
I painted a picture
As your eyes gave a hint,
I took my very own heart
And gave it away to you,
For you to make your own
Oh rose where the dew sleeps,
Female: Oh king who wins me over...
A special, blessed day—
Has it finally arrived?
Why this shyness, why this fear?

Female: Is this what youth feels like?
Wasn't it you
That I pictured in my eyes?
Every day, my living portrait
Is none other than you...
My love, in your eyes,
I read the message
A sweet battle of love
Is what I saw...
Desire comes surging,
And the body feels a thirst,
Am I not a woman?
When I embrace you, it will be quenched,
Joining together on our bed,
Aren't you my very life?
As the young evening arrives...
Male: As both our hearts turn sweet...
Female: Sweetness overflowing,
Is this what youth is?
As both our eyes turn red with passion...
