At the time when twilight falls,
Along the bank of the river,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing.
At the time when twilight falls,
Along the bank of the river,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing.
I don't have the heart to leave,
Male: Then stay a while!
Female: But I cannot stay either!
I will come, I'll go now and return,
I will return.
When the auspicious month of Thai arrives,
what if I take your hand and we join the wedding procession?
When the auspicious month of Thai arrives,
what if I take your hand and we join the wedding procession?
Bearing a little of the weight your waist cannot carry,
what if I walk along beside you?
What if I walk along beside you?
As the crimson sky showers flowers and folk songs bless us,
on the day of our wedding,
Male: Saying, 'Look at the golden groom with his bride,'
let the whole town stop and praise us!
At the time when twilight falls,
Along the bank of the river,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing.
I will come, I'll go now and return,
I will return.
Girl, not having seen you all this while,
my eyes grew tired of waiting!
Girl, not having seen you all this while,
my eyes grew tired of waiting!
Like an unstrung garland resting on your chest,
I have come to taste the sweetness,
I have come to taste the sweetness!
As my skirt flutters in the breeze and red bananas sway,
even if my glance catches them,
my body wrestles with my darling's chest and darting eyes,
and gently pleads with you.
At the time when twilight falls,
Along the bank of the river,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing,
I, your cousin, will wait with longing.
I will come.
Male: I will be watching the path for you.
Female: If I come?
Male: I will give you even more.
Female: I will come, I'll go now and return,
I will return.
