Falling in love at a tender age,
the girl who was always by his side,
her eyes waited till she grew into a young woman...
She won't yearn anymore, she won't sleep at night!
Hey hey, ho o o!
To call me your sister-in-law,
you seem so very eager!
That I am going to marry your brother—
who told you that?
Don't put on an act for nothing,
don't stir up my temper!
When one girl reads another girl,
can her guess ever go wrong?
When one girl reads another girl,
can her guess ever go wrong?
Can childhood love fade away just because of separation?
She won't yearn anymore, she won't sleep at night!
If a heart is filled with love,
does it bring only joy?
If a heart is filled with love,
does it bring only joy?
Will it cross the seas, come running, and show its face?
Don't put on an act for nothing,
don't stir up my temper!
Oh dear girl, your shyness—
where has it flown away?
All your talk of having no desire,
I have seen right through it,
your true colors are out!
Oh dear girl, your shyness—
where has it flown away?
All your talk of having no desire,
I have seen right through it,
your true colors are out!
Don't jump around, just don't jump around!
My sweet parrot, it is you
who longs for a wedding!
And deep inside, even I wish to make it happen for you!
And deep inside, even I wish to make it happen for you!
Falling in love at a tender age,
the girl who was always by his side,
her eyes waited till she grew into a young woman...
She won't yearn anymore, she won't sleep at night!
