...

Beating the drum with a booming sound,

And you chasing me, saying 'Catch the one who goes!'

Beating the drum with a booming sound,

Chasing me, saying 'Catch the one who goes!'

Churning my cheek like buttermilk in a vessel,

And roaming around the whole town,

Beating the drum with a booming sound... um um um,

Chasing me, saying 'Catch the one who goes!'... um um,

...

Sandalwood stone, sandalwood stone,

I saw it at your waist,

Sugar mill, sugar mill,

I saw it on your lips,

Hey, like a tomato garden, like a papaya cluster,

Standing by placing a three-legged stool,

Hey, like a flower that attracts bees, like a body that crawls like a crab,

Announcing it with tom-tom drums,

In the gentle shade, with the bamboo flute,

You and I can sing songs as a pair,

... Female : ...

...

Like a puppet show, showing her eyes,

Setting a brick kiln inside the heart,

Hey, striking hard and leaving a wound,

It isn't just flesh, it's like a whip,

With many birthmarks and leftover beauty,

Shall I show them for the sake of desire?

Cardamom-like age and nutmeg-like heart,

Shall I see them piece by piece?

Hey, the royal bun and ornamental anklets,

They say no, with bashfulness,

Beating the drum with a booming sound,

And you chasing me, saying 'Catch the one who goes!'

Churning my cheek like buttermilk in a vessel,

And roaming around the whole town

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Using rich, rustic imagery and rhythmic folk percussion, the protagonists tease and express their admiration for each other's physical charm, comparing beauty to sweet sugar mills, sandalwood, and fresh produce.
