You came to be with me,
and the moon arrived too.
With eyes flashing like lightning in the sky,
how beautiful you are!
Which is the sky and which is the earth?
Won't they trade places, won't bliss arrive?
Oh goddess of love, my very soul
has merged with yours.
You came to be with me,
and the moon arrived too.
With eyes flashing like lightning in the sky,
how beautiful you are!
Weave me close, my lovely girl, stitch me into you;
Female: It will leave a wound—would that be fair?
Those two plantain blossoms of yours,
do not hide them under clothing.
Those two plantain blossoms of yours,
do not hide them under clothing.
Female: Don't give me those sly glances,
lightning will race through my heart.
You came to be with me,
and the moon arrived too.
Female: With eyes flashing like lightning in the sky,
how beautiful you are!
The skylarks sang a sweet melody of joy,
Male: Garlands of love swayed upon our shoulders.
Female: This is the garden of the god of love,
the night will ignite a burning flame.
You came to be with me,
and the moon arrived too.
Female: With eyes flashing like lightning in the sky,
how beautiful you are!
Which is the sky and which is the earth?
Male: Won't they trade places, won't bliss arrive?
Oh goddess of love, my very soul
has merged with yours.
You came to be with me,
and the moon arrived too.
With eyes flashing like lightning in the sky,
how beautiful you are!
