O clouds of the sky, O gentle breeze of flowers,
Won't you come running to us?
Wishing that my goddess stays with me forever,
Won't you offer us your sweet blessings?
Wishing that my goddess stays with me forever,
Won't you offer us your sweet blessings?
O clouds of the sky, O gentle breeze of flowers,
Won't you come running to us?
Wishing that my goddess stays with me forever,
Won't you offer us your sweet blessings?
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Is it the tender coconut cradled by the palm tree
That sways gently just like you?
Waiting eagerly to hold and rock you in love,
This mischievous heart cannot wait!
Where is there room for shyness or fear,
When deep desire awakens?
Where is there room for shyness or fear,
When deep desire awakens?
O clouds of the sky, O gentle breeze of flowers,
Won't you come running to us?
Wishing that my goddess stays with me forever,

Ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha aa...
Ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha ahaha...
Pearls, rubies, and sparkling diamonds—
Have they all merged into one
To become a beauty never seen before,
Taking the form of this lovely woman?
As your radiant, golden-glowing body dances with joy,
I, your king, have arrived to sweep you into my arms!
As your radiant, golden-glowing body dances with joy,
I, your king, have arrived to sweep you into my arms!
O clouds of the sky, O gentle breeze of flowers,

Won't you offer us your sweet blessings?
Wishing that my goddess stays with me forever,
Won't you offer us your sweet blessings?
