English lyrics
1st Verse:
Castor and camelia, bear no beans!
Deep mountain fair maidens would go a-flirting.
Chorus: Ari-Ari, Ssuri-Ssuri, Arariyo!
Ari-Ari Pass I cross and go.
2nd Verse:
Though I pray, my soya field yet will bear no beans;
Castor and camelia, why should you bear beans?
3rd Verse:
When I broke the hedge bush stem, you said you’d come away;
At your doorway I stamp my feet, why do you delay?
4th Verse:
Precious in the mountains are darae and moroo;
Honey sweet to you and me would be our love so true.
5th Verse:
Come to me! Come to me! Come and join me!
In a castor and camelia garden we’ll meet, my love!
