Waiting to draw it close and embrace it,
is the sweet breeze from the south!

is the sweet breeze from the south!
It is singing a song, my friend,
after listening to that rustic folk tune!
Female Chorus: It is singing a song, my friend,
after listening to that rustic folk tune!
Female: My man has come to garland me in marriage, my friend!
It has been four weeks
since I had a full night's sleep;
all sleep has vanished,
leaving my weary eyes.
Last night,
when the moon came out in the sky,
because you were not with me,
my heart grew heavy with longing.
Whenever the evening arrives,
I lose myself in thoughts of you.
Oh my deer, my sweet singing bird,
we must share our bed of love!
Hold me close against your chest
Female Chorus: and sing me a lullaby!
Female: Shower me with affection
Female Chorus: and pamper me tenderly!
Female: All this delight and joyful cheer
is celebrated by your sweet song!
Where the reeds bloom and sway,
along the riverbank,
as I walk side by side
together with you...
As the garden breeze
sings folk melodies today,
and golden evening sunlight dances across the flowers,
as I sway on the swing,
seeking true bliss,
waves of desire rise and dance within my eager heart!
Touching whatever it touches,
Male Chorus: let it dance freely!
Male: Resting upon my shoulders,
Male Chorus: let this deer-like girl dance!
Male: Even if you think pleasure has reached its very peak,
there is still so much more left to enjoy!
