A feast for a thousand eyes,
someone will come as a match for my beauty.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
A feast for a thousand eyes,
someone will come as a match for my beauty.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
In the chiming sound of my bangles,
he will blend right in,
on the edge of my ripe red lips,
he will fall and linger.
He will reach out and catch me,
gently hold me in an embrace,
reach out and catch me,
gently hold me in an embrace,
shower heaps of sweetness,
to satisfy all my desires.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
A feast for a thousand eyes,
someone will come as a match for my beauty.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Resting his head at my feet,
he will lie down,
and in the expressions of my eyes,
he will read poetry.
He will make me laugh,
make me yearn a little,
make me laugh,
make me yearn a little,
then make my heart flutter,
bringing sweet comfort to my soul.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
The precious beginning of our time,
he will count as a gain,
and all the wisdom of his experience,
he will spend on me.
He will gather flowers to adorn my hair,
playfully pinch my cheek,
gather flowers to adorn my hair,
playfully pinch my cheek,
and teach me even more,
so we share equal delight.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
A feast for a thousand eyes,
someone will come as a match for my beauty.
Oho ho ho ho ho
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
Isn't that you? Isn't that you?
