Hey, my parrot, sweet parrot of mine!
My soul is torn apart with longing!
My cuckoo, sweet cuckoo of mine!
My body cries out for you!
Steal a sweet kiss!
Send a thrill all over!
My shyness is melting away!
Let every beauty mark bloom,
as we reach the highest peak,
and everything left just fades away!
My parrot, oh sweet parrot of mine!
My cuckoo, oh sweet cuckoo of mine!
My parrot, oh sweet parrot of mine!
My cuckoo, oh sweet cuckoo of mine!
My parrot, sweet parrot of mine!
My soul is torn apart with longing!
My cuckoo, sweet cuckoo of mine!
My body cries out for you!
If you turn into a river's whirlpool,
I will dive right in, girl!
Female: If you become a tree branch,
I'll swing and play on it, boy!
Hey, give in to me!
Give in again and again!
Break through your shyness and give me a burning kiss!
Reach out and lie down... lie even closer!
With every breath we take,
stay pressed close to me!
Let every beauty mark bloom,
as we reach the highest peak,
and whatever is left just fades away!
Hey, my parrot, sweet parrot of mine!
My soul is torn apart with longing!
My cuckoo, sweet cuckoo of mine!
My body cries out for you!
Like a wild river rushing through town,
you swept me away, boy!
Like a root thirsting for water,
you pulled me close, girl!
Mmm, touch me, boy!
Touch me over and over, boy!
Leave your golden touch on my body, boy!
Cling to me, girl!
Cling closer and closer, girl!
Touch me deep within my soul, girl!
Steal a sweet kiss!
Send a thrill all over!
My shyness is melting away!
My parrot, sweet parrot of mine!
My soul is torn apart with longing!
My cuckoo, sweet cuckoo of mine!
My body cries out for you!
Steal a sweet kiss!
Send a thrill all over!
My shyness is melting away!
Let every beauty mark bloom,
as we reach the highest peak,
and everything left just fades away!
My parrot, oh sweet parrot of mine!
My cuckoo, oh sweet cuckoo of mine!
