This little queen is a king's daughter!
Her lovely body is soft like a rose petal!
To sing her name every single day,
Come, flock of cuckoos!
To dance beside her every single day,
Come, flock of parrots!
Aren't you her dearest friends? Come, oh come!
This little queen is a king's daughter!
Her lovely body is soft like a rose petal!
We are beautiful children,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: Deer that keep leaping around,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: Fish bathing in the waterfalls,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: Blossoms swaying in dance!
Just like tiny little sparrows,
Once our wings have grown,
Over the cool ripples of the breeze,
We want to glide for long, long days!
A precious gem has come to dance,
Celebrating pure happiness!
The golden evening sky comes down
To bless her today, saying, "Live long!"
This little queen is a king's daughter!
Her lovely body is soft like a rose petal!
...
The cool moons today,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: With ringing, joyful laughter,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: Seeing her gentle smile,
Chorus: Pum pum pum
Female: The gentle breeze cuddles her like a mother!
Flowing with a soft murmur,
She dances like a river!
Wearing cheerful, bright clothes,
Lightning flashes across her form!
Her sparkling eyes are an ocean of pearls,
The words she speaks are like the music of a flute!
Her two cheeks are as soft as silk,
Dripping milk and honey today!
This little queen is a king's daughter!
Her lovely body is soft like a rose petal!
To sing her name every single day,
Come, flock of cuckoos!
To dance beside her every single day,
Come, flock of parrots!
Aren't you her dearest friends? Come, oh come!
This little queen is a king's daughter!
Her lovely body is soft like a rose petal!
