In a beautiful coconut grove,
On a quiet, peaceful evening,
In a beautiful coconut grove,
On a quiet, peaceful evening,
A young man came by,
And saw something wondrous in nature there.
It goes on, it will go on,
Like an endless story, it goes on.
The gentle breeze turned cool,
The coconut leaves made sweet music.
The gentle breeze turned cool,
The coconut leaves made sweet music.
The sound of ankle bells arose,
And a longing pulled at his heart.
It goes on, it will go on,
Like an endless story, it goes on.
His heart blossomed with longing,
With a touch of impatience inside.
His heart blossomed with longing,
With a touch of impatience inside.
He looked toward the sound,
He looked toward the sound,
And heard a girl's sweet, gentle words.
It goes on, it will go on,
Like an endless story, it goes on.
Her skin was radiant like an emerald,
A sweet girl with a face glowing with turmeric.
Her skin was radiant like an emerald,
A sweet girl with a face glowing with turmeric.
She walked softly toward him,
She walked softly toward him,
And fell upon his handsome chest.
This will go on, it goes on,
It goes on, it will go on,
Like an endless story, it goes on.
Because she fell toward him on her own,
He held her tight in his arms.
Because she fell toward him on her own,
He held her tight in his arms.
"My gentle deer, with your sweet lips,
"My gentle deer, with your sweet lips,
Give me a kiss," he asked next.
Mmm mmm mmm
La la la la la la
Can there really be a woman like this,
With eyes that speak so many things?
Can there really be a woman like this,
With eyes that speak so many things?
Resting gently in his embrace,
Resting gently in his embrace,
She showered kisses like rain on his cheeks.
La la la la la la
Sharing sweet secrets in the night,
Bringing one heart close to another,
Male: Playful love until the break of dawn,
That song did not end that day.
