When lovely pigeons
and golden moons are together with us,
it is pure joy, pure delight!
When strands of pearls
and jasmine flowers smile softly,
it is comforting and just right!
This is the song, this is the melody,
this is the rhythm, this is the emotion!
Oh, college parrots......hoy...hoy....
Oh, palms dripping with sweet nectar......
When lovely pigeons
and golden moons are together with us,
it is pure joy, pure delight!
Life is always full of fun,
and youth is a celebration!
Waves surge through the entire body,
like a fresh, rushing stream!
Life is always full of fun,
and youth is a celebration!
Waves surge through the entire body,
like a fresh, rushing stream!
Written by the eyes, read by the heart,
oh, so many poems!
Calling out to invite a mate,
oh, young birds!
Like rivers running into the sea,
come and join with me....
Oh, college parrots.....haan.....aa.....
Oh, palms dripping with sweet nectar......
When lovely pigeons
and golden moons are together with us,
it is pure joy, pure delight!
When strands of pearls
and jasmine flowers smile softly,
it is comforting and just right!
This is the song, this is the melody,
this is the rhythm, this is the emotion!
Oh, college parrots......hey...hey....
Oh, palms dripping with sweet nectar......ae.....
When a girl says "Sorry, no,"
it actually means "Okay, yes!"
Many words change their meaning
in a woman's dictionary!
When a girl says "Sorry, no,"
it actually means "Okay, yes!"
Many words change their meaning
in a woman's dictionary!
Blushing red and biting fingernails,
that is youth, my dear!
Wanting to be touched and yielding space,
the heart melts, my dear!
A longing sweeps over you,
do you not understand it?
Oh, college parrots....hoy...hoy....hoy
Oh, palms dripping with sweet nectar..........
When lovely pigeons
and golden moons are together with us,
it is pure joy, pure delight!
When strands of pearls
and jasmine flowers smile softly,
it is comforting and just right!
This is the song, this is the melody,
this is the rhythm, this is the emotion!
