A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
A tender body sweet as ripe jackfruit,
With a celebration of love around the waist.
Pearls lie hidden within those red lips,
Pearls lie hidden within those red lips,
And deer-like women dance in passionate joy.
And deer-like women dance in passionate joy.
A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
Slender vines and sweet-talking parrots,
Is this a stage of love where they sing and dance?
Are those stars in the sky or fish-shaped eyes?
Or are they women bathing like fish in the water?
Like sparkling gems, from those sweet nectared lips,
Will a new kind of melody flow?
Held in the tight embrace of youth,
Will this waist keep time to the rhythm?
A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
Pearls lie hidden within those red lips,
And deer-like women dance in passionate joy.
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aah... aa... aa...
A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
...
...
These sculpted beauties and twilight arts,
I want to experience them every day only with you.
Pleasure is here and fragrance is there,
As they dance together along with me.
In that moment when eyes meet eyes,
Are spoken words even necessary?
Behind parted curtains until the break of dawn,
Shall we dance together every single day?
A beautiful face like the full moon,
Drifting in like a sweet procession.
Ah... pearls lie hidden within those red lips,
And deer-like women dance in passionate joy.
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aah... aa... aa...
