O thirsty uncle,
Should you delay it?
O passionate uncle,
Should you seek a kiss?
Hey, O thirsty uncle,
Should you delay it?
O passionate uncle,
Should you seek a kiss?
Lips like ivy gourd are fruit juice, come, come!
This maiden is a new melody, come, come!
Lips like ivy gourd are fruit juice, come, come!
This maiden is a new melody, come, come!
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi

O thirsty uncle,
Should you delay it?
O passionate uncle,
Should you seek a kiss?
...
Turning evening into a woman,
Turning mountain honey into eyes,
Turning the river into her stride,
Turning a flowering vine into her waist,
So that all three worlds get intoxicated,
So that the world of men becomes enslaved,
He created me, my dear!
And I respected you, my dear!
Is the night's wonder like the wonder
Of the world? Tell me!
Is it swooning like divine beauty
And a divine spell? Wait!
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
O thirsty uncle,
Should you delay it?
O passionate uncle,
Should you seek a kiss?
...
Just looking at me, he melts,
Bringing his face close, he embraces me,
He drinks the milk,
His eyes close in bliss,
As I flex my bow-like eyebrows,
As he pushes the limits of intoxication,
He leaped and jumped, my dear!
He yearned while searching for me, my dear!
He leaped and jumped, my dear!
He yearned while searching for me, my dear!
His longing to drink this maiden's nectar,
He goes around telling everyone!
To sprinkle the milk of the goddess of doubt,
He performs magic tricks!
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
O thirsty uncle,
Should you delay it?
O passionate uncle,
Should you seek a kiss?
This maiden is a new melody, come, come!
Lips like ivy gourd are fruit juice, come, come!
This maiden is a new melody, come, come!
Lips like ivy gourd are fruit juice, come, come!
Hoi maamaamaamamamaammoi…hoi
