She came like a cool breeze from Courtallam,
she made me dance a wild folk beat!
I got split right in two here,
a wretched guy like me went completely crazy!
With her rosewater words and hot
breath, I got totally lost, man!
She pecked me with her sharp little nose,
and I shattered into a hundred pieces!
Now beat the drums and spread the word,
everything has turned completely upside down, man!
She arrived,
she gave me a blessing,
and pure joy
has come this very day!
With the sword of her gaze,
she struck me down!
With the slender thread of her waist,
she spun me around!
Hey, like a rooster
crowing in the middle of the day,
shout out just like that, boys!
If you don't become a fool,
this love
will run away and leave us behind, man!
Without checking any horoscopes,
without asking anyone,
she confessed her love!
Like a fragrant flower,
like a rainbow,
she came to my doorstep, man!
Without blinking an eye,
she looked at me,
and upside down
I completely turned!
When she flowed
along like a river,
like a flower
I drifted along on her!
Like a pen tucked
right beside her heart,
could I ever live without her, man?
Lighting a spark in the corner of my eye
every single day,
I'd die for her without a second thought, man!
If I just touch her,
won't the skies burst open?
Bring on the showers,
give it, give it, give it!
To celebrate this love,
time is just not enough,
take some days off from work, boys!
She came like a cool breeze from Courtallam,
she made me dance a wild folk beat!
I got split right in two here,
a wretched guy like me went completely crazy!
With her rosewater words and hot
breath, I got totally lost, man!
She pecked me with her sharp little nose,
and I shattered into a hundred pieces!
Now beat the drums and spread the word,
everything has turned completely upside down, man!
