Along the flower garden pathway, on spring's chariot,
The charming prince has arrived!
Along the flower garden pathway, on spring's chariot,
The charming prince has arrived!
With the cool moon as an umbrella and the cuckoo singing,
With love's banner fluttering as all sorrows fade away,
Aa... aa... aaa... aa...
With the cool moon as an umbrella and the cuckoo singing,
With love's banner fluttering as all sorrows fade away,
Surrounded on both sides by a host of lovely women,
Surrounded on both sides by a host of lovely women,
Even the desireless ascetic queens,
Rejoiced in their hearts, calling earthly pleasure supreme bliss,
The charming prince has arrived...
The charming prince has arrived...
Ka... ka...
Female: In every body and soul that is seen,
Love never departs... ah...
Pa... pa...
Female: A gracious heart in this world,
Look at the moon that ends all cruelty,
Ka... ka...
Female: Do you understand what this dark-haired girl is saying?
Ka... ka...
Female: The time is here, handsome one, come close to me,
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
In every body and soul you see,
Love never parting,
Singing of this feeling, a kind heart will end all cruelty,
Look at the moon,
Female: Through our union,
Do you understand what this dark-haired girl says? What holds us back?
The time is here, handsome one, come close to me,
If this youthful time slips away, will such a blessed day ever return?
Look into my two eyes, embrace me and join in playful joy,
To bring the sweet pleasure of loving companionship,
The charming prince has arrived...
The charming prince has arrived...
Along the flower garden pathway, on spring's chariot,
The charming prince has arrived!
