Mama, Mama, Mama!
Mama, Mama, Mama!
Tell me, girl, tell me, girl!
Tell me, girl, tell me, girl!
Just because a girl is sweet like a little bird,
should you circle round and round,
run up close, and try to touch her?
Before tying the sacred wedding knot,
should your hands even touch her?
Mama, Mama, Mama!
With that sharp look in your eyes,
after speaking so warmly and close,
is it fair to pull away and run like this?
Just to hold hands and talk,
should you put up such a barrier?
Tell me, girl, tell me, girl!
In the wedding hall before the whole town and country,
amidst all the relatives and elders who support us,
becoming one...
Male: Aha...
Before becoming one
and celebrating our sacred bond,
should we be holding each other's hands?
Without understanding this, should men get so restless?
Mama, Mama, Mama!
Female Chorus: Mama, Mama, Mama!
Before we unite in front of the whole world,
with your eyes that cast a hook of love,
dropping teasing hints,
Female: Aha...
stirring up desire,
Female: Oho...
dropping hints and stirring desire,
and singing playful romantic songs,
should you alone
strike at our hearts?
Knowing what is in our hearts, should you even ask this?
Tell me, girl, tell me, girl!
Seeing an innocent young girl,
falling in love right away,
then abandoning her to chase after nine others,
like a wandering bee...
Male: Aha!
Turning like fickle bees,
men with that kind of mind,
haven't you seen how they fool around?
Haven't you heard the stories of women suffering?
Mama, Mama, Mama!
Leaving one woman,
running after another,
deceiving the town every day,
and wearing all kinds of disguises...
In this world full of such men,
when looking closely at it,
everything you say now is truly right!
Ah...
Male: Keeping a little distance
while getting to know each other
is indeed good, truly good!
Yes, yes, yes!
Male Chorus: Yes, yes, yes!
Without crossing our limits,
without breaking the rules of tradition,
we must wait patiently
for just a little while!
Oho...
And once we are married,
what barrier is there? What barrier?
Mama, Mama, Mama!
Male: That's right...
