Oh, what lovely, lovely sights!
The heart sways, oh the heart sways!
Roja, Roja, my sweet little rose,
I will forever be your king!
I have a secret to tell, come a little closer,
Will any excuse work now?
Oh, what lovely, lovely sights!
The heart sways, oh the heart sways!
What a wonder of nature this is!
What enchanting colors all around!
What madness of passion in our union!
This life of yours and mine,
is like the flow of a river of joy!
Male: Wonderful girl, come to me, my darling!
She is a fresh, sweet mango hidden beneath the leaves!
Good... oh, what sights!
Male: Ah ha!
Female: Lovely, lovely!
Male: Lovely, lovely!
Female: The heart sways, oh the heart sways!
Without even holding you close, without our bodies cooling down,
a sweet burden of bliss has filled my heart!
Words cannot explain it, language cannot hold it—
that very burden is the sweetness of a young heart!
Let us celebrate together in this wilderness,
and enjoy the full pleasure of our love!
Male: Wonderful girl, come to me, my darling!
She is the fresh morning dew showering upon the flowers!
Oh, what sights!
Male: Aaha!
Female: Lovely, lovely!
Male: Oh my!
Female: The heart sways, oh the heart sways!
Roja, Roja...
Female: Aaha!
Male: Little rose...
Female: Oh my!
Male: I will forever be your king!
I have a secret to tell, come a little closer,
Will any excuse work now?
Oh, what sights!
Male: Ha ha!
Female: Lovely, lovely!
Male: Hahaha!
Female: The heart sways, oh the heart sways!
