My beloved puts the moon to shame.
Wind yourself in my embrace, my love.
It's quiet, intimate, intoxicating, still
This moment is unparalleled
Let our proximity increase!
No way, not right now, no no no!
Let these distances between us be erased.
No way, not right now, no no no!
Gaze at me to your heart's content -- from a distance!
You tell me: how can I look at you from afar?
The same way the partridge [who, in myth, lives on moonbeams] beholds the
moon.
Oh, it's quiet, intimate, intoxicating, still
This moment is unparalleled
Come out, come out, moon; until you come out,
this heart shall long to behold its beloved's face
No, no, moon, don't come out, should you come,
my love will get embarrassed and run off.
Come out, come out, moon!
You'll receive a hundred thousand blessings.
No, no, moon, don't come out, or else my love will run away!
Let me hide myself in your veil!
Hey, no way, no no no!
Spread your hair across me!
Hey, no way, no no no!
Love's name is patience, darling.
You tell me how in the world I can be patient!
The same way that the peacock watches for the path of the monsoon.
Hey, let me be; let me go; release me; don't sulk.
This moment is unparalleled.
The moon emerged, it emerged, so every wish will be granted: In the moonlit night, each lover will gaze upon her beloved.
In the moonlit night, each lover will gaze upon her beloved.
