In the very same language, the little flower and the breeze
Can speak together in the evening time.
A woman's heart sings the same melody every day,
How sweet is this moment, the union of the god and goddess?
In the very same language, the little flower and the breeze
Can speak together in the evening time.
A woman's heart sings the same melody every day,
How sweet is this moment, the union of the god and goddess?
As the silver clouds arrive shyly,
And the evening sunlight offers a garland of water lilies,
As the silver clouds arrive shyly,
And the evening sunlight offers a garland of water lilies,
Is this a wedding celebrated every single day?
Is the entire sky filled with grand celebrations?
Is this a wedding celebrated every single day?
Is the entire sky filled with grand celebrations?
As the drizzle sprinkles rosewater,
And the mountain breeze offers heartfelt blessings,
(Female): Is this moment so comforting,
When everything we see is utterly charming?
In the very same language, the little flower and the breeze
Can speak together in the evening time.
A woman's heart sings the same melody every day,
How sweet is this moment, the union of the god and goddess?
Why do you stir my feelings with every touch?
Why do you come close and ask for love?
Why do you stir my feelings with every touch?
Why do you come close and ask for love?
Oh my, what I desire is boundless,
So give generously from your open heart!
Oh my, what I desire is boundless,
So give generously from your open heart!
Lull and soothe this womanly grace of mine,
For it is as soft and tender as a fresh plantain leaf.
(Male): Gently resting upon your shoulder,
Shall the swing of desire rock back and forth?
In the very same language, the little flower and the breeze
Can speak together in the evening time.
A woman's heart sings the same melody every day,
How sweet is this moment, the union of the god and goddess?
