It is an auspicious Friday, my darling!
Isn't that what I have been waiting for all these days?
Male: O beautiful sculpture, sweet work of art, because of you,
I melted all on my own like wax.
This is a wonder in this world,
A doll created just for you.
Once you experience its magic,
Youth is so sweet you won't even feel hunger.
From now on, once you experience its magic,
Youth is so sweet you won't even feel hunger.
From now on, once you experience its magic,
It will bring great joy, my darling!
Isn't that what I have been waiting for all these days?
O beautiful sculpture, sweet work of art, because of you,
I melted all on my own like wax.
You are a feast of ripe love,
The medicine that heals all worries.
Becoming one and spending our time together,
United in a life of true love,
Becoming one and spending our time together,
United in a life of true love,
Because of you, who brings such joy,
I melted all on my own like wax.
It is an auspicious Friday, my darling!
Isn't that what I have been waiting for all these days?
With this matchless youthful desire that never fades,
Let us swim in a world of bliss.
Male: From now on, an unmatched sweet union,
This is the true romance of life.
From now on, an unmatched sweet union,
This is the true romance of life.
Because of you, who brings such joy,
I melted all on my own like wax.
It is an auspicious Friday, my darling!
Isn't that what I have been waiting for all these days?
