...
The celebration is coming alive, oh girl!
When you look at me with your eyes,
If your finger happens to touch mine,
Even an old man would turn youthful!
Oh, a sugarcane body that even an ant savors,
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
My heart is yearning, oh dear! (Chorus: ...)
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
My heart is yearning, oh dear! (Chorus: ...)
Do you alone possess two lives?
Is your body charged with electric current?
Is this right or wrong?
Intoxicated just like wine!
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
My heart is yearning, oh dear!
The celebration is coming alive, oh girl!
When you look at me with your eyes,
If your finger happens to touch mine,
Even an old man would turn youthful!
...
... (Male: ...)
...
Shaking your head to your swaying gait,
You turned me into a doll!
Displaying your charms time and again,
You snatched away my life! (Chorus: ...)
Come, slender-waisted beauty, come enjoy!
Your mustache is like a crunchy snack,
Give it to me to bite on!
Hey, beautiful girl with a body fine as hemp,
Beauty with a tiny, slender waist!
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
My heart is yearning, oh dear! (Chorus: ...)
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
The celebration is coming alive, oh boy!
... (Female: ...)
...
Gazing at your face, ah, the cool breeze
Turns hot every day, oh boy!
As I comb my hair looking into your mirror-like nail,
Oh girl, the whole town gathers to stare! (Chorus: ...)
If you walk down the street, the windows feel shy,
If you go to draw a pattern, the dots drool over you!
You beauty with a sweet nectar smile,
You beauty with abundant sass and charm!
Oh dear, I am all restless, my heart is yearning, oh dear!
...
Oh dear, I am all restless! (Chorus: ...)
The celebration is coming alive, oh girl!
When you look at me with your eyes,
If your finger happens to touch mine,
Even an old man would turn youthful! (Chorus: ...)
Do you alone possess two lives?
Is your body charged with electric current?
Is this right or wrong?
Intoxicated just like wine!
{ Oh dear, I am all restless, my heart is yearning, oh dear! } (2)
