Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
Female: If you desire to see
all that has been kept hidden and veiled,
can it stay still without being entranced?
Swaying gracefully as you walk,
you shake me up with your beauty!
Just like a coin box,
you rattle me with desire!
You pull me close and bend me,
as if you want to break my waist!
Even before we exchange wedding garlands,
you make me crave raw mangoes!
Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
Until yesterday, even when I looked at you with desire,
my heart didn't yearn like this.
When you come stand close
and brush past me, my heart cannot bear it!
The moment I saw you, you entered my eyes
and stayed there; now my eyes cannot sleep!
Trapped in the grip of passion,
the desire in this little heart never ends!
Moon, oh round moon,
it came near me and burned me!
Female: Dove, oh white dove,
red kumkum powder has spilled all over it now!
Male: A necklace of pearls has scattered over me!
Female: Deep inside, my breath has grown hot because of you!
Swaying gracefully as you walk,
you shake me up with your beauty!
Female: Even before we exchange wedding garlands,
you make me crave raw mangoes!
Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
In kisses, there are two kinds:
one you can give, and one you can take!
What does this sweetheart desire?
Is it to give a kiss, or to take one?
If this green parrot comes near
and teaches the lesson, we can learn both!
Diving deep into kisses,
we can hold our breath and dive for pearls!
Oh no, oh dear, it will leave a mark!
Your moustache will prick my cheeks!
Male: As we get used to it, it will feel just right,
and both your cheeks will taste so sweet!
Female: Why look for trouble? My tender body cannot take it!
Male: If it fears the thorns, a rose will never bloom!
You pull me close and bend me,
as if you want to break my waist!
Just like a coin box,
you rattle me with desire!
Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
Female: If you desire to see
all that has been kept hidden and veiled,
can it stay still without being entranced?
Swaying gracefully as you walk,
you shake me up with your beauty!
Just like a coin box,

You pull me close and bend me,
as if you want to break my waist!
Even before we exchange wedding garlands,
you make me crave raw mangoes!
Fresh green sprig of marjoram,
why have you blushed so red in longing?
Is it shyness? Bridal shyness?
