Two little birds haven't fallen asleep yet
Chorus: Haven't fallen asleep yet
Male: Drenched bodies cannot bear this cold
Chorus: Cannot bear this cold
Ah, eyes that locked onto each other haven't shifted away
Ah, the girl who came so close hasn't spoken a word
Ah, this sleepless night refuses to pass
Ah, the lovely girl who stirred this longing is like an angel
Two little birds haven't fallen asleep yet
Chorus: Haven't fallen asleep yet
Male: Drenched bodies cannot bear this cold
Chorus: Cannot bear this cold

Ah, the rain poured and the whole town is filled with water
Soaked like a garden of flowers, the young girl got drenched
Oh my, that playful girl smiled so enchantingly
Trembling with yearning, this lily-like girl held close
With skin glowing like ripe papaya, she is a queen of beauty
With skin glowing like ripe papaya, she is a queen of beauty
She blushed, her cheeks turned bright red
Ah, she surrendered and curved gently into my arms
Two little birds haven't fallen asleep yet
Chorus: Haven't fallen asleep yet
Male: Drenched bodies cannot bear this cold
Chorus: Cannot bear this cold
...
Ah, even the earth dissolves when the rain touches it
And my eyes wander endlessly only for her
Her glowing gaze burns bright like a sacred oil lamp
It is a comforting blanket against the bitter cold, hey
You are a precious palanquin draped with a silk veil, my girl
You are a precious palanquin draped with a silk veil, my girl
As you blossom and sway like a flower
I dance with joy around you like a young bee
Two little birds haven't fallen asleep yet
Chorus: Haven't fallen asleep yet
Male: Drenched bodies cannot bear this cold
Chorus: Cannot bear this cold
Ah, eyes that locked onto each other haven't shifted away
Ah, the girl who came so close hasn't spoken a word
Ah, this sleepless night refuses to pass
Ah, the lovely girl who stirred this longing is like an angel
Two little birds haven't fallen asleep yet
