Tell him to come to the feast, girl!
A lion in bravery, handsome to behold,
Today is the grand day he becomes king!
A festive day, a festive day, today is a festive day!
Tell him to come to the feast, girl!
A lion in bravery, handsome to behold,
Today is the grand day he becomes king!
A festive day, a festive day, today is a festive day!
Crown the king of the forest!
Sing a song, my dear!
Keep beat to the song, O king!
Let the playful games begin!
Drawing closer bit by bit,
Stepping back playfully,
Let youthful love show the way!
Crown this game with joy!
Tell him to come to the feast, girl!
The breeze from the southern hills
Stands searching for you, look!
Scoop me up into your pot of honey!
A rushing flood is right beside you,
Build a dam and hold it back!
Float along gently like a boat,
Glide back and forth from that bank to this,
And sing for the king who came to rule!
Tell him to come to the feast, girl!
A lion in bravery, handsome to behold,
Today is the grand day he becomes king!
A festive day, a festive day, today is a festive day!
The season of falling leaves is gone,
The season of fresh green shoots has arrived!
If all of us stand together with our bows,
Whatever stands against us turns to dust!
Saying, 'A wonderful, happy time
Has arrived for me,'
She plunged into joy and found sweet bliss!
All turned out well, and a bond was formed!
Tell him to come to the feast, girl!
A lion in bravery, handsome to behold,
Today is the grand day he becomes king!
A festive day, a festive day, today is a festive day!
