No one has ever seen me
I am a girl who has come of age
No one has ever seen me
I am a girl who has come of age
If people in town hear of this
No one will pay the bride-price to marry me
If people in town hear of this
No one will pay the bride-price to marry me
I plead with you, holding your hands and feet
Please do not tell anyone outside!
Even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
Oh, even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
The eyes that have laid sight on you
Belong only to you now, girl!
The eyes that have laid sight on you
Belong only to you now, girl!
I swear on God, I swear on the Earth
I will never go back on my word!
No one has ever seen me
I am a girl who has come of age
At this midnight hour
The young paddy shoots sway
To chat with the swaying shoots
The breeze comes blowing softly
At this midnight hour
The young paddy shoots sway
To chat with the swaying shoots
The breeze comes blowing softly
Touching sweet, honeyed cheeks
Male: Ah...
Female: Leaving behind marks of shy blushing
Male: Ha... ha
Touching sweet, honeyed cheeks
Leaving behind marks of shy blushing
Once you marry me properly
This playful girl will come right beside you!
Even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
Oh, even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
If people in town hear of this
No one will pay the bride-price to marry me
I swear on God
I swear on the Earth
I will never go back on my word!
Ah... no one has ever seen me
I am a girl who has come of age
Even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
Like the sharp tip of a needle, the chill
Pierces right into me
Beyond what words can say
A strange longing rises in my heart
Like the sharp tip of a needle, the chill
Pierces right into me
Beyond what words can say
A strange longing rises in my heart
Oh my king, caress me gently
Male: Ha...
Female: Your queen is still tender and young
Male: Ah...
Oh my king, caress me gently
Your queen is still tender and young
Even at a slight touch, she will cling to you
Embracing you like a soft, tender leaf
Even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
Oh, even I haven't seen you yet
Come a little closer to me, girl!
If people in town hear of this
No one will pay the bride-price to marry me
I swear on God
I swear on the Earth
I will never go back on my word!
No one has ever seen me
I am a girl who has come of age
Oh, no one has ever seen me
Male: Ah, come closer to me, girl!
