{A brand new experience,
I found in him!
Naughty thoughts I never had before,
Cheeks left tender from his golden touch!
La la la lala laa laaaa...} (2)
A brand new experience...
Swaying and faltering gracefully,
she came along.
Aha, without a single word,
I went right up to her.
If she said that was not allowed,
and her heart could not bear it,
I gave her a sweet kiss myself.
And if that was not enough... not enough...
A brand new experience,
I found in her!
Naughty thoughts I never had before,
Cheeks left tender from a golden touch!
[Whistling]
A brand new experience...
Praising my eyes,
he drew close to me.
Praising my eyes,
he drew close to me.
Aha, praising me as a wonderful woman,
oh, the sweet tales he told!
"This love will never change," he said.
"From now on, you are the one," he said.
He looked deep into my eyes,
"I will be your companion," he said.
"For all of tomorrow too," he said...
A brand new experience...
Like a decorated festival chariot,
her graceful form gently sways.
Aha, the loose end of her silk dress,
my thoughts long to embrace!
When asked where she was,
I was standing right here.
She came over there,
and together we wandered off somewhere.
Wandered off somewhere...
It was cool as morning dew,
and oh, so sweet like ripe fruit!
Aha, it showered down like rain,
and blossomed like a flower!
There was no sleep,
nor any restless longing;
until others noticed us,
there was no parting between us!
No parting at all...
A brand new experience,
I found in him!
Naughty thoughts I never had before,
Cheeks left tender from his golden touch!
{La la la lala laa laaaa...} (3)
