The sharp edge of your gaze is a blade,
It is killing me, girl! Bale bale!
With your smile, my heart
is overflowing now! Bale bale!
In your dimples, my life
slips and falls today! Bale bale!
For the round jasmine buds in your cool hair,
bravo to the flowers! Bale bale!
An ant in your eyes,
sugarcane in my beauty,
Ah, the ant has encircled the sugarcane today!
And chewing and chewing, finished it completely!
...
The sharp edge of your gaze is a blade,
It is killing me, girl! Bale bale!
With your smile, my heart
is overflowing now! Bale bale!
Ah, the ant has encircled the sugarcane today!
And chewing and chewing, finished it completely!
In moments of solitude, somewhere far away,
you take me along! Bale bale!
Across fruit-bearing hills and sweet candy springs,
you make me play! Bale bale!
Precious pearls, glistening pearls,
look at the leaping, bouncing rain!
Male: Desires stretch their hands and plead,
let it drizzle all day long! Bale bale!
The sharp edge of your gaze is a blade,
It is killing me, girl! Bale bale!
Chorus: Bale bale!
Male: With your smile, my heart
is overflowing now! Bale bale!
Hoy, an ant in your eyes,
sugarcane in my beauty,
Ah, the ant has encircled the sugarcane today!
And chewing and chewing, finished it completely!
...
Like dew on the grass, leaning against you,
these moments that melt and flow, bale bale!
Staying awake all night, drinking up the dew,
I became like a sun! Bale bale!
In the garden of love, like sparkling stars,
we can shower a million moonlit kisses!
Male: Holding cheek against cheek,
this time of flying like colorful parrots is wonderful!
The sharp edge of your gaze is a blade,
It is killing me, girl! Bale bale!
Chorus: Bale bale!
Male: With your smile, my heart
is overflowing now! Bale bale!
Chorus: Bale bale!
An ant in your eyes,
sugarcane in my beauty,
Ah, the ant has encircled the sugarcane today!
And chewing and chewing, finished it completely!
...
The sharp edge of your gaze is a blade,
It is killing me, girl! Bale bale!
Aaa... aa... aaa... aa...
With your smile, my heart
is overflowing now! Bale bale!
Ah, the ant has encircled the sugarcane today!
And chewing and chewing, finished it completely!
