Darling, here I am, darling
Ask me what you want
Ask, and I will give you everything
Come to me, darling
What else could I ever want?
I only want you
If you ask me what I want,
I will ask for kisses
Female: If I give you kisses,
you will end up asking for everything!
Oh my love, my love
My sweet girl...
You are the only one, only one
In my world
You are my diamond
My white pearl
Oh my love, my love
You are my ladybird
Darling, here I am, darling
Ask me what you want
Ask, and I will give you everything
Come to me, darling

I only want you

Hoo-va-ra hoo-va-ra hoo-va hoo
Your gaze from afar
is slaying my heart
My heartbeat right now
has raced so high
Your look up close
is slaying my youth... slaying it, slaying it
Telling me to embrace you,
a little bird chirps in my heart
Saying, "Come closer, come close,"
love reaches out its hand
Saying, "Step back, stay away,"
shyness stretches out its tail
Oh my love, my love
My sweet girl...
You are the only one, only one
In my world
You are my diamond
My white pearl
Oh my love, my love
You are my ladybird
Hoo-aa... hoo-ooo-aaa...
[Whistling]
Smiling and laughing,
you shatter me to pieces
Female: Oh-hoo...
Male: Swaying gracefully with your beauty,
you make my heart flutter with excitement
Pulling me close and holding me,
you make me playfully squirm... playfully squirm
Making the veins along my neck bloom like flowers,
you make me swoon... make me swoon with desire
If you say the word, wouldn't my heart
stand obediently with folded arms?
When you speak so affectionately,
wouldn't sweat well up inside my eyes?
Oh my love, my love
My sweet girl...
You are the only one, only one
In my world
You are my diamond
My white pearl
Oh my love, my love
You are my ladybird
Darling, here I am, darling
Ask me what you want
Ask, and I will give you everything
Come to me, darling
What else could I ever want?
I only want you
