Ah, a thousand pleasures!
Is this face seeking me the face of a goddess?
A story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem I wrote arrived?
Ah, a thousand pleasures!
Is this face seeking me the face of a god?
A story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem you wrote arrived?
When I came and settled in your heart,
What burden from the past or future remains in the soul?
Male: When you touch me like a bouquet of flowers,
A cool moisture settles over this warm body.
In innocent hearts carrying messages of love,
Are you the singing skylark?
Male: In the temple bells of the god of music,
Are you the crown of love they wear?
Are your eyes a fisherman's net?
Ah, a thousand pleasures!
Is this face seeking me the face of a god?
A story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem I wrote arrived?
On the paths where your footsteps tread,
Shall I lay down a path of flowers?
Female: Could every path we walk upon
Turn into a beautiful body?
I will walk beside you as your companion,
For a heart aching with the illness of love,
Loving hands must come to protect it.
Male: The places those hands come to protect,
I too want to see right here.
Will a shower of honey fall?
Ah, a thousand pleasures!
Is this face seeking me the face of a god?
Male: A story of love sung by youth,
Has the poem I wrote arrived?
Female: Has it arrived?
