Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
The door to dreams has opened,
And memories have grown wings.
The door to dreams has opened,
And memories have grown wings.
Long live love, long live love!
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Did our two bodies lose their weight
And fly into the sky?
Did the earth slowly fade away below?
From the pipe played by the god of love,
Did a sweet melody ring out?
Did so many tender feelings reveal themselves in it?
Are millions of flowers leaning in like listening ears?
Are they listening to the silent language of two hearts?
Female: In this golden evening,
Male: Flowers are showering down.
Female: In the gentle garden breeze,
Male: A chariot has arrived.
Female: The meeting of sparkling flower-like eyes
Male: Shaped many poems, tasting sweet upon the lips.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Hearing the song of lovers,
Did they forget to sing their own?
Did the cuckoos also fall in love?
When two bodies embraced as one,
Did the breeze search for a space between?
Did it wilt with no room to enter?
Did the mango branch support the flowering vine?
Did the heart yearn to reach a golden world?
Female: A waist slender as a thread,
Male: Why has it grown so tired, my dear?
Female: Along with milk and flowers,
Male: Honey has blended in!
Female: On a bed of green leaves, even the dew
Drops are enchanted, hesitating as night falls.
Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
Female: Pretty little flower-birds,
A stream of honey flows in both their hearts.
The door to dreams has opened,
And memories have grown wings.
Female: The door to dreams has opened,
And memories have grown wings.
Long live love, long live love!
