Lyrics in English:

Little viburnum, little viburnum, my little viburnum!
In the garden is the little raspberry, my little raspberry!
Little viburnum, little viburnum, my little little viburnum!
In the garden is the little raspberry, my little raspberry!

Oh! Beautiful and graceful Maiden,
I want you to love me,
Oh Liuli, Liuli, oh Liuli, Liuli,
I want you to love me!

Little viburnum, little viburnum, my little viburnum!
In the garden is the little raspberry, my little raspberry!
Little viburnum, little viburnum, my little viburnum!
In the garden is the raspberry, my little raspberry!
