Your body has a novel charm,
a unique kind of beauty.
A woman's face is a moon of nine emotions!
Your body has a novel charm,
a unique kind of beauty.
A woman's face is a moon of nine emotions!
And with this young woman,
sharing all nine emotions,
your face is a wondrous dream!
And with this young woman,
sharing all nine emotions,
your face is a wondrous dream!
Moon of nine emotions...
Female: Wondrous dream...

On an island where flower-like eyes sway like groves,
is it the beauty of a bird in flight,
or the golden glow that plays
across my goddess's fair body?

On an island where flower-like eyes sway like groves,
is it the beauty of a bird in flight,
or the golden glow that plays
across my goddess's fair body?
On a pomegranate flower,
is it the beauty of golden bees lost in delight,
or is it your beauty, my love,
growing intimate in that sweet intoxication?

A woman's face is a moon of nine emotions!
Female: And with this young woman,
sharing all nine emotions,
your face is a wondrous dream!
"Is honey sweeter, or am I?"
you wonder as you embrace me so beautifully!
With the dramatic gaze of your kohl-lined eyes,
tell me a story every single day!
Flowing softer than milk and gentle mist,
oh melody of youthful love!
Is it enough just to look at each other?
Come, teach me a lesson in love!
What we have shared is only a little,
Female: a thousand more moments are yet to come!
Male: In every single memory,
Female: the whole world belongs to us!
Your body has a novel charm,
a unique kind of beauty.
A woman's face is a moon of nine emotions!

Through sensory imagery involving flowers, honey, music, and golden hues, they express their mutual longing and deep romantic affection. The song concludes with the sentiment that their love journey has only just begun, with infinite moments of joy and togetherness awaiting them in the future.
