May all four seasons be yours
May all four seasons be yours
May all the blessings of this lord be yours
May all four seasons be yours
Whether as the summer season,
whether as the spring season,
whether as the rainy season,
or whether as the chilling winter,
or whether as the chilling winter,
in all the seasons that arrive,
may all four seasons be yours!
Oh my, this is summer!
My clothes are soaked through!
My beloved, don't you touch me!
Oh my, this is summer!
My clothes are soaked through!
My beloved, don't you touch me!
Having lit the fire of love today,
to tell only me,
"Do not touch me with your hands," is that fair?
Is it fair for you to say, "Do not touch me"?
Shall I fan you with a hand fan...?
Sss... appa pappa
Sss... appa pappa sss...
Or shall I kindle the fire of longing?
Shall I fan you with a hand fan,
or shall I kindle the fire of longing?
This harsh summer day,
shall I turn it into sweetness?
On this summer day... ae... ae... ae...
Long live our leader!
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Ga ga ma ri sa ni sa ri sa ni sa ni pa ma pa
Aaha aa... aa... aa...
Across millions and millions of flowers,
the singing breeze embraces them!
Across millions and millions of flowers,
the singing breeze embraces them!
Everywhere in our hearts,
thoughts rush like floods!
Dark clouds become golden swings,
golden streams play sweet melodies,
these are seasons celebrating a wedding!
A delight to the earth
is the rainy season,
a special time when frogs make music!
A delight to the earth
is the rainy season,
a special time when frogs make music!
Fresh white waters in the river,
a graceful work of art walking along!
I will hold you close with comfort,
and very gently too... ha!
I will hold you close with comfort,
and very gently too!
Like the rain, like the river,
may our leader live in joy!
Sss... aa... sss... aa...
In the mist and in the cold,
the whole body shivers and shivers!
Sss... aa... Youth meeting youth,
warmth spreads across the lips... ha!
In this wrapping mist, shall I wrap you up,
gently... sss... so gently?
As every step falters,
and the heart feels soothing comfort,
may love shower down
inside our home!
May good times blossom
across our land!
