Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
O wild dweller, play a tune!
Easy, easy, love is easy!
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
It is the peak, sheer delight!
Give it your absolute best!
What if we hold a musical celebration here?
Oh flower lady, garland maiden,
A sweet fragrance fills the air!
When the turmeric-adorned golden girl arrives, she glimmers and shines!
Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
O wild dweller, play a tune!
Easy, easy, love is easy!
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
It is the peak, sheer delight!
Give it your absolute best!
What if we hold a musical celebration here?
Oh flower lady, garland maiden,
A sweet fragrance fills the air!
When the turmeric-adorned golden girl arrives, she glimmers and shines!
...
Unlettered geniuses,
Are usually simple and innocent folks,
Their hearts are as pure white as jasmine flowers,
Even as they grow old, they remain innocent children...
Without wearing any masks,
To live with an honest face,
This nature preaches to us,
What better teacher is there than Nature?
Even for those advanced in age,
Youth comes back alive,
Like a young maiden blossoming,
A fresh prime of life begins to bud,
Oh, isn't this a brand-new...
Miraculous day after all...
Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
O wild dweller, play a tune!
Easy, easy, love is easy!
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
...
...
Oh, as the cold northern breeze blows,
Piercing like needles of frost,
Injecting chill into the nerves,
The body shivers and dances!
Ho hoi, even a stained, dirty heart,
Into a beautiful, pristine heart,
This earth washes and cleanses,
Show me a place like this... show me!
Deep inside the heart,
The worries that remained until today,
Lifting them all up,
And casting them into the wind,
Doesn't a brand-new kind of...
Sweet blissful experience arise? Ho...
Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
O wild dweller, play a tune!
Easy, easy, love is easy!
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
It is the peak, sheer delight!
Give it your absolute best!
What if we hold a musical celebration here?
Oh flower lady, garland maiden,
A sweet fragrance fills the air!
When the turmeric-adorned golden girl arrives, she glimmers and shines!
Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
Maasimasi, mossy green moss,
Talk and talk, and love the girl!
