Look at me, look at my beauty, do you see it?
Do you recognize every curve of my body?
Look at me, look at my beauty, do you see it?
Do you recognize every curve of my body?
Even while flying far and wide,
You have thought of me often,
I haven't forgotten you either, come closer...
Look at me, look at my beauty, do you see it?
Do you recognize every curve of my body?
Aren't there pictures inside your eyes?
Isn't this the face etched in your mind?
Aren't there intoxicating colors in the cup?
Aren't there countless charms to a woman?
Let every wonder take place,
Let the eager moments begin.
Let all our secrets carry on,
Let what must happen be fulfilled... ah!
Look at me, look at my beauty, do you see it?
Do you recognize every curve of my body?
I am laying out heaven for you,
I am hiding all my shyness away.
I am placing the lamp beside us,
I will make you forget all sleep.
Now that the chance has come, cast your net,
Play your game right where you have arrived.
Just looking is not enough,
See this through to the very end... ah!
Look at me, look at my beauty, do you see it?
Do you recognize every curve of my body?
Even while flying far and wide,
You have thought of me often,
I haven't forgotten you either, come closer...
