If you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
If you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
You girl who steals raw mangoes
and munches on them,
how many months along are you?
I will give you some clay too,
eat it, girl,
haven't your cravings gone away yet?
Ho ho ho ho
Ah, if you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
Is it raw... or is it ripe?
May I touch and see?
Such a mischievous young thing,
did she cry inside the water trough?
Even if you pluck them and cover them with cloth
to hide them, girl,
won't they be clearly seen,
those tender mangoes right in front?
Hey, my queen,
can you really get away with fooling me?
Your wide-eyed thinking
is only a woman's hindsight!
Ah, if you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
If a horse leaps and prances wild,
I tame it with this whip!
Young girl, pay attention to me,
I can win you over with just a look!
Flying like the wind on a rekla cart,
I am a brave racer!
You wouldn't know just by looking at me,
I am a man of extraordinary skill!
A little deer fawn,
a sweet lump of honey,
darting like a lively fish,
your eyes reveal everything like a mirror!
Ah, if you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
Your youth and tender figure
show your full womanly shape!
When I stand and look at you, girl,
oh, it torments my heart!
Your skirt and your upper wrap,
are completely soaked in water!
Dripping like water drops from flowers,
there stood the young girl!
Caught under my gaze,
the little bird is dazed!
Fragrant is this sixteen-
year-old tender bud!
Ah, if you are born a woman,
before a man,
you must hold out your neck.
And when he ties one, two,
three knots,
you must let yourself be bound!
