Hey, the earth is shaking!

All: A roar, hey, a roar!
Hey, the whole village and all relations
Gather together as one!
Dancing with joyful celebration,
Stirring up excitement!
All: A sound, a brand-new sound!
Banana trees line the whole street,
Male: Strung with garlands like a rainbow!
Male: The clouds roll up to burst like firecrackers,
All: Making people touch their noses in utter wonder!
Giving everything the heart desires,
Male: That is truly our generous nature!
Male: Coming to witness this wedding beauty,
All: Even our gods will present wedding gifts (moi)!

She pierces me with her eyes and stirs my heart inside,
Trapping me inside a cage of love... ho ho oooo
Female: Wandering around like a feather in the breeze,
Ho ho oooo, oh my, right into your eyes
He slips in, melts with love, and loses himself!
Hoo oo oooo... hoo oo oo oo
