Let them scatter and spill, rose, my rose!
The young heart grows sweet,
Let delights overflow!
Pearls all over the lips,
Let them scatter and spill, rose, my rose!

Place a sealed kiss upon me,
Make a bed upon my lap,
Teach me the art of passion,
Explain all those sweet secrets to me!
Press your cheek to my cheek, my king, my king!

Scoop up and offer a little honey from your lips!
Cheeks soft as silk-cotton,
Touch them gently,
Scoop up and offer a little honey from your lips!
Every spot that is touched,
A flood of joy will surge,
This playful youthful body,
Will lean into my arms.
In the night, thoughts of you,
In the day, dreams of you,
I wish to sleep without sleeping,
Hold me upon your shoulder, come, come!

Sing the melody of youth beside me, hey!
Set the rhythm on my lips, upon my body!
Sing the melody of youth beside me, ah!
Set the rhythm on my lips, upon my body!
In the bedchamber, the silver moon,
At the hour when honey sprinkles down,
Male: Ah!
Female: Beside you, a youthful moon,
Intoxication rises in your eyes!
Nine emotions in your eyes,
Sweet nectar upon your lips,
Spreading the mattress of my tresses,
Cradle me on your shoulder like a swing, come, come!
