Oh my, oh my!
Do you understand desire now?
Now that her heart is known,
has love blossomed now?
Silence is always consent,
my lady, from you today.
Oh dear, oh dear!
Do you understand desire now?
Now that his heart is known,
has love blossomed now?
Silence is always consent,
my king, from you today.
A lover's quarrel is a woman's song,
and her eyes are the doorway to love.
Male: The heart is a swing,
and inside, you dance.
Flower-like womanhood is a stage for play.
Male: Ah... ah... ah...
Female: In those mischievous eyes, a thousand playful hints!
Ah... ah... ah...
Male: My little bird, soft as white silk,
aren't you a flower bud?
My little bird, soft as white silk,
aren't you a flower bud?
Oh my, oh my!
Do you understand desire now?
Male: Now that her heart is known,
has love blossomed now?
A swan, a sweet little swan,
with two rosy cheeks.
Female: There lies your loving mark,
what more could you want?
Spill your pearls, my darling, opening the shell!
Female: Aah... ah...
Male: Reveal your beauty, knowing what is longed for!
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
While I feel shy and you caress me,
aren't I so young and delicate?
While I feel shy and you caress me,
aren't I so young and delicate?
Oh dear, oh dear!
Do you understand desire now?
Now that his heart is known,
has love blossomed now?
Silence is always consent,
my king, from you today.
Oh my, oh my!
Do you understand desire now?
Now that her heart is known,
has love blossomed now?
Silence is always consent,
my lady, from you today.
