With your blossoming smile,
you give me protein.
With your welcoming words,
you give me vitamins.
You are a man of great achievements,
the thief who steals a woman's gaze.
In love, you are a master champion,
yet you are a friend of God.
I have witnessed your sheer speed,
you are truly a child of lightning!
Ah, to cut through lightning,
there is no blade sharp enough!
My beautiful, warm flower,
my very own island,
the moment I saw you,
I felt myself grow taller with pride.
A woman unlike any I have seen before,
my darling, embodying classic poetry,
I will lift you onto my shoulders
and take you to a brand new world.
It tempts me to touch you,
it tempts me, my moon...
Oh, if I try to touch you,
why do you hesitate?
Inside my chest,
passion rams like a wild beast,
casting away all my fear
and my shyness.
Your fair, golden body,
I am going to claim completely.
Yet when I softly touch you,
I am the one who gets stolen away.
The moment you come before me,
a cool rain rushes down my spine.
My sweet lover, to touch my waist,
why is there any distance between us?
In your tight embrace, let my senses shatter!
My beautiful, warm flower,
my very own island,
the moment I saw you,
I felt myself grow taller with pride.
A woman unlike any I have seen before,
my darling, embodying classic poetry,
I will lift you onto my shoulders
and take you to a brand new world.
Play me like a drum,
strike me like a drum!
Open the book of my lips,
read this book of lips!
Oh, the kisses that crash down,
each kiss strikes like thunder!
Can this slender vine of a body
endure it all?
"There should be no violence in our land"—
that is surely true.
Yet wild passion upon the bed
is what womanhood truly desires!
Is this a pain that feels like pleasure,
or a pleasure that feels like pain?
The bliss meant for seven lifetimes,
grant it all to me today!
Knock gently and unlock my soul!
My beautiful, warm flower,
my very own island,
the moment I saw you,
I felt myself grow taller with pride.
My darling... Chorus: Beautiful...
My darling... Chorus: Beautiful...
Chorus: Beautiful... beautiful... beautiful...
Male: Lifting you onto my shoulders,
I will carry you to a brand new world...
