Papaya Blossom
- A greeting to the
blossom
- Of the flower of the hei
- My thoughts wandering there
- Make me travel back far hours
- Of the flower of the hei
-
- To the brink of the pure
- Sweet scented waters
- The pretty birdlings sip
- From the heart of the flowers
- To the brink of the pure
Chorus:
- Now I see in the beauty
- The work of the dewtime
- Slowly dripping each evening
- So cold in the nightime
- I shiver as I think of its
- Clear, crystal coldness
- Unlike the fond warmth
- Of your bosom's sweet softness
- The work of the dewtime
