Youth is sweeter than honey, run to me
Whether it is desire or need, we can find a thousand pleasures
That's splendid, I want it... ah
Oh darling, I love you so much
I love you so much
Come to me, come to me, come to me
With a body that gleams like gold
And overflowing youthfulness, I love you
Hidden by leaves, seeking the sweet fruits
This is the time to gladden a parrot's heart, I love you
With a body that gleams like gold
And overflowing youthfulness, I love you
Male: It's pleasure, no measure
Female: Hidden by leaves, seeking the sweet fruits
This is the time to gladden a parrot's heart, I love you
Male: Do you like it? Meet me tonight, baby
You hearts who look at my cheeks as wine cups,
come gather round!
Like bouquets of flowers and humming bees singing songs,
you longing thoughts, come seek me!
Oh darling, I love you so much
I love you so much
Come to me, come to me, come to me
Why have I put on this disguise here?
Only for the bright future taking shape for you
Why have I put on this disguise here?
Only for the bright future taking shape for you
A tree that once gave shade now burns under the scorching sun
Yet unbowed by its fate, it showers fragrant flowers
So that your future, like the rising red sun,
must shine bright, must shine bright
Oh darling, I love you so much
I love you so much
Come to me, come to me, come to me
Youth is sweeter than honey, run to me
Whether it is desire or need, we can find a thousand pleasures
Oh darling, I love you so much
I love you so much
Come to me, come to me, come to me
