O silver moon, O silver moon,
Pick a good day and come to me.
Into your lovely hair,
Shall I tuck fresh flowers?
Even while standing far away,
Why are you blushing with shyness?
With your beautiful eyes,
Why are you making me lose my heart?

O silver moon, O silver moon,
Pick a good day and come to me.
Into your lovely hair,
Shall I tuck fresh flowers?
...
My beautiful one, on your face,
Why are there pearls of sweat?
Shall I take that passing cloud
And wipe your face dry?
Those sweet, blissful days,
I want them every single day from now on.
Resting in your gentle lap,
Shall I come to enjoy the night?
Only to gaze upon you,
Did I receive these eyes.
Only to unite with you,
Did I hold on to this life.

Kum kumsa kumsa sa
Kumsa kumsa sa
Kum kumsa kumsa sa
When eyes meet eyes
And heart meets heart,
As they grow closer in love,
What need is there for words between them?
With you so far away,
And me unable to reach you,
When my heart aches like this,
Life loses all its sweetness.
The beating sounds of my heart,
Do they reach your ears?
The flower seeds of love I scatter,
Do they bloom inside your heart?
Kumsa kumsa sa
Kum kumsa kumsa sa
O silver moon, O silver moon,
Pick a good day and come to me.
Into your lovely hair,
Shall I tuck fresh flowers?
Even while standing far away,
Why are you blushing with shyness?
With your beautiful eyes,
Why are you making me lose my heart?
