Hey... nenene...
Rererero re yo...
Rererreyo... rererreyo...
In a heart filled with desire, hey,
At an age that makes you dance, hey,
When two hearts come together as one,
A melody was born!
Like running water brushing past the banks, hey,
Like bamboo shoots whispering in the breeze, hey,
As sweet tunes begin to sing,
The chilly wind turned into burning heat!
Hey, the breeze has picked up,
Let the celebrations go on!
The breeze has picked up,
Let the celebrations go on!
Youth has truly come of age!
In a heart filled with desire, hey,
At an age that makes you dance, hey,
When two hearts come together as one,
A melody was born!
Your eyes pretend to look away, but your hands are on my body,
There is no thief quite like you!
In the twilight hour, with a whole basket of love,
It is wrong to talk about rules, my girl!
Your eyes pretend to look away, but your hands are on my body,
There is no thief quite like you!
In the twilight hour, with a whole basket of love,
It is wrong to talk about rules, my girl!
It is in your heart, but won't reach your lips,
Even when it is on your lips, you try to hide it!
I am a clever rogue, you know!
What are you rambling on about, trying to fool me?
In a heart filled with desire, hey,
At an age that makes you dance, hey,
When two hearts come together as one,
A melody was born!
Hey... hey...
To someone pining in desire every day,
Is asking for a kiss really out of line?
When I lay out the bed, you make such a fuss,
I don't understand what kind of fairness this is!
To someone pining in desire every day,
Is asking for a kiss really out of line?
When I lay out the bed, you make such a fuss,
I don't understand what kind of fairness this is!
Oh, like the lonely sea foam
Drifting ashore with the waves,
All your sweet talk lasts only
Until you get your hands on the treasure!
Isn't that right? Isn't that right?
Looking at you and giving my life to you
Was entirely my mistake!
In a heart filled with desire, hey,
At an age that makes you dance, hey,
When two hearts come together as one,
A melody was born!
