Oh my, what is this...?
Oh my, what is this... is it a beginning?
For this desire and the sound of our lips,
is it pure joy, or a beginning?
Ah, come close, you are my heaven!
Come close, you are my heaven!
Come running to me, I am your song!
The place where we meet will be so sweet,
come sway and lean on me, you are my stage!
Oh my, what is this... is it a beginning?
For this desire and the sound of our lips,
is it pure joy, or a beginning?
Did the intoxication of wine arrive,
tossing and turning in the lap,
like a story that sets the heart throbbing?
Did the intoxication of wine arrive,
tossing and turning in the lap,
like a story that sets the heart throbbing?
Overflowing with sweetness,
making the river of the heart today
leap and boil with pleasure?
What a man needs is a precious jewel of a woman,
and this girl is a river of pure joy!
Male: Desire dances in the honey inside the flower,
the hour it blooms brings heaven to earth!
Oh my, what is this... is it a beginning?
Male: For this desire and the sound of our lips,
Female: Is it pure joy? Male: Is this the beginning?
Even after the spell has faded,
intoxication fills the mind again;
is this a dream that leaves us enchanted?
Drawing near,
offering a feast of sweet nectar,
is this an art that sweetens the heart?
Our bodies are the stage for love's play,
let our glances pave the way to that stage!
Male: The girl dancing in my gaze is captivated,
and days lost in such ecstasy are all I need!
Oh my, what is this... is it a beginning?
Male: For this desire and the sound of our lips,
Female: Is it pure joy? Male: Is this the beginning?
Female: Is it pure joy? Male: Is this the beginning?
