Whatever you tell me, I'll accept with a blush
Yield a little, and I will embrace you
Gently, I will come and cling to you
Like a parrot hopping across the bed and mattress,
Male: If you just come close to me,
Won't the secrets of love become clear?

Male: If you just come close to me,
Won't the secrets of love become clear?
When I teach you, you must learn well
Whatever I say, you must agree to it
{In the heat of summer,
Male: as you turn into a cool stream,
Female: when wrapping around you,
Male: I become a garment...} (2)
In front of me and behind me,
as you roll and tumble, hey hey,
My golden, flower-soft body
discovers pure joy, hey hey hey!
As I sing a brand new song every single day,
Female: without resisting or pulling away, I too will join you daily
You teach me, and I will learn well
Whatever you tell me, I'll accept with a blush
{The blue sky
Female: is like a woman's glance,
Male: The monsoon clouds
Female: are like her flowing hair} (2)
As my joyful palanquin
grows legs and walks, hey hey hey,
Your unfading beauty
sprinkles drops of honey, ah ah ha!
As I transform into a heavenly beauty,
Male: Without a break and never letting you go, I will hold you close
You teach me, and I will learn well
Whatever you tell me, I'll accept with a blush
Yield a little, and I will embrace you
Gently, I will come and cling to you
