In our direction of the wind
It is raining
In our list of songs
The dizziness is rising
In our fortress
The flag flies high
In our cup
It offers pleasure
The sea formed into salt
The body bonded through burning desire
Ah, the past has been forgotten
New doors have opened
In our direction of the wind
It is raining
In our song
The intoxication is rising
In our fortress
The flag flies high
In our cup
It offers pleasure
Ah ah ah ah ah ah hoii…(2)
If you get taken down in chess
Do not shed tears
If a woman clings to your body
Do not worry
Play on, play on
Play until the break of dawn
Celebrate, celebrate
Leap and jump to celebrate
Two lions that know no fear
Friendship flows inside their veins
They have united with great pride
Look, sparks of fire are flying
In our direction of the wind
It is raining
In our song
The intoxication is rising
………………………….
The rope of attachment lies with woman
Why did He place it there, my friend?
When you see the Creator
Ask Him and see, my friend
Do not yield, do not yield
Even when suppressed, do not yield
Do not bend, do not surrender
Do not sway for anything at all
When night falls, where is sleep?
Youth arrives to lift you up and rule
Moisture blooms beneath the neck
A little sweat forms at the edge of the tongue
In our, in our direction of the wind
Rain, rain is falling
In our, in our song
The intoxication is rising
In our fortress
Flag after flag flies high
In our cup, pleasure increases
The sea formed into salt
The body bonded through burning desire
Ah, the past has been forgotten
New doors have opened
In our direction of the wind
It is raining
In our song
The intoxication is rising
Ah ah ah ah ah ah hoii…(2)
