Hey hey hehey hey hehey
Hey hehey...
Speak tenderly to me for a little while,
Even summer can turn cool, ha ha!
Chorus: Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
The love that begins in the eyes
Does not stop with just a gaze.
When two hearts come together,
There is no need for distance today.
Ooty sparks a fire, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty!
Speak tenderly to me for a little while,
Even summer can turn cool, ha ha!
Chorus: Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hey hey... lalalalalaa
Laala laala lalaala lalaa laalaa laala laa
All the water lily blossoms
Will surely be filled with moonlight.
My love, a young girl's heart
Overflows with thoughts of you.
Merely thinking about it is not enough,
The longing in the heart will not fade.
Without diving deep into the water,
You cannot truly bathe.
My young man... why the hurry?
Male: When the world of love opens its doors
And calls out to you, are you still afraid?
Speak tenderly to me for a little while,
Even summer can turn cool, ha ha!
Chorus: Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Lalalala laalaa laalaa laalaa... aaaaa...
Lalala laa lalala laa lalala lalala laa
Tomorrow, across the joyful sky,
We can go as far as its horizons reach.
Singing sweet melodies every day,
We can live forever in the world of cuckoos.
There should be no more delay,
If we hesitate, happiness will not come.
Female: O thief of my heart, your stubbornness
Will not work with this young girl.
I feel restless and shaken... come close to me.
Female: Do the storm and rain rage only inside you?
Don't I have desire too?
Speak tenderly to me for a little while,
Even summer can turn cool, ha ha!
Chorus: Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
The love that begins in the eyes
Does not stop with just a gaze.
When two hearts come together,
There is no need for distance today.
Ooty sparks a fire, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty, Ooty!
Speak tenderly to me for a little while,
Even summer can turn cool, ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oo oo
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hoy...
