Desire is waking up, come to me
Bring your money and give it to me
This young girl is calling you
Run and come to me... hey!
This young girl is calling you
Run and come to me...
Desire is waking up, come to me
Bring your money and give it to me, ah... aa... aah...
There are no guards around
There is no one to stop or question us
Hey, what is there to fear, mister?
Why should you feel so shy?
There are no guards around
There is no one to stop or question us
Hey, what is there to fear, mister?
Why should you feel so shy?
There is no sleep all night long
A deep longing has taken hold
Only your touch can soothe it
That is what my heart told me
I am young, fresh, and tender
Come on, let us play!
Desire is waking up, come to me
Bring your money and give it to me
This young girl is calling you
Run and come to me...
Mmm hmm yeh...
Thana naananaa
Mmm hmm aa aha
Thana naananaa
Aa... aa... aah... aaha ha
The cold wind is blowing
Wrap your arms around me like a blanket
Hey, look at me with your eyes
I am a fish leaping playfully
If you and I stay apart
That would be a mistake, sir
If I join you as your companion
It will be sheer heaven
Slowly, gently, and tenderly,
Come and share sweet intimacy
Desire is waking up, come to me
Bring your money and give it to me
This young girl is calling you
Run and come to me... hey!
This young girl is calling you
Run and come to me...
Desire is waking up, come to me
Bring your money and give it to me, hahaan...
