and come together to sing with joy!

turning about, searching for a hundred joys!

A cool flower breeze and a nearby river of honey,
in which the heart bathes!
Female: Bathing again and again, even that turns hot,
and boils over, surging to the top!
Here, two figures rise,
and come together to sing with joy!
