Laala laala laala, oh my!
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
A bottomless ocean of sweet nectar,
A youthful body unlike anyone else's... oh my!
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
A golden body that breathes the scent of flowers,
I am a girl who has blossomed into youth.
A golden body that breathes the scent of flowers,
I am a girl who has blossomed into youth.
Come and sing a melody never sung before,
Drink milk and honey and come running to me!
Youth, this youth—come play with it,
Pleasure is brand new—come celebrate it!
Youth, this youth—come play with it,
Pleasure is brand new—come celebrate it!
I am a jasmine flower, my lips spill honey,
The sweet delight of cuddling on the bed—
You can take it, you can give it; if you will share it, come on, oh my!...
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
Climb up the steps to the fortress of love,
Come settle in the palace of Kama (the god of desire)... ah....
Climb up the steps to the fortress of love,
Come settle in the palace of Kama (the god of desire)... ah.....
Come and drink the sweet juice of sugarcane,
I am the great cure that satisfies all your desires.
Sweetness, pure sweetness comes only from me,
Pleasure, day and night, comes only through this woman!
I am a jasmine flower, my lips spill honey,
The sweet delight of cuddling on the bed—
You can take it, you can give it; if you will share it, come on, oh my!.....
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
A bottomless ocean of sweet nectar,
A youthful body unlike anyone else's... ah........
Among all the women of this world, I am brand new,
I am the one meant for your royal feast.
