Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
If you look, you will like it; if you ask, you will get it!

Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
Are you enchanted... by this figure,
by this blooming youth? Fall under the spell!
Is your head spinning... at how the dress hugs,
at the thrill of passion? Let it spin!
Are you enchanted... by this figure,
by this blooming youth? Fall under the spell!
Is your head spinning... at how the dress hugs,
at the thrill of passion? Let it spin!
Are you getting caught... in the waist, in the graceful sway,
in the corners of these eyes? Get caught!
Young of the young, fresh of the fresh,
this is a rare kind of luck...
Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
If you look, you will like it; if you ask, you will get it!
Did you hear that?
Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
Jimmiru jimma, jimmiru jimma!
She is a young girl, this girl,
one of a kind, a girl like gold—take a look!
Come share and share,
this girl right beside you,
understand everything through her playful glances!
Ah, listen closely, listen closely, oh, oh, oh...
Jimmiru jimma, jimmiru jimma!
She is a young girl, this girl,
one of a kind, a girl like gold—take a look!
Come share and share,
this girl right beside you,
understand everything through her playful glances!
Do you understand... this bright smile?
Understand what is happening here!
Young of the young, fresh of the fresh,
know that this is one of a kind...
Ya, ya, ya, did you see?
If you look, you will like it; if you ask, you will get it!
Did you hear that?
Ya, ya, ya, did you see... ah, ah?
