Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
As the small hand touches it,
the big hand quivers with excitement,
my darling, inside your clock.
To touch the big hand,
the small hand yearns,
right now, at this very hour.
Come live with me, come rule over me!
Ah, what can I even say?
This isn't something from just today or yesterday.
To the question burning in my blood,
come give an answer with a kiss, come, come!
As the small hand touches it,
the big hand quivers with excitement,
my darling, inside your clock.
To touch the big hand,
the small hand yearns,
right now, at this very hour.
Looking at your body and sweating deep inside,
I hid my desires during the golden evening.
Chanting your name in the dead of night,
I forced my eyes shut on the bed.
I poured water and bathed, but it didn't put out the flame;
this fire never sleeps.
If you leave me longing while being right beside me,
it does not suit your manhood.
When the moment comes, no one is a saint like Rama here, ha!
As the small hand touches it,
the big hand quivers with excitement,
my darling, inside your clock.
To touch the big hand,
the small hand yearns,
right now, at this very hour.
Even a single day living with you is enough,
my body and womanhood will find fulfillment.
Just you tenderly saying "I love you" is enough,
ah, that one phrase is worth a fortune!
Whatever mystery or wonder it is,
I haven't known it until now.
Ahaha, is there pleasure in these restless aches?
I cannot solve this riddle.
Why don't you gently teach me these lessons? Ah...
As the small hand touches it,
the big hand quivers with excitement,
my darling, inside your clock.
To touch the big hand,
the small hand yearns,
right now, at this very hour.
Come live with me, come rule over me!
Ah, what can I even say?
This isn't something from just today or yesterday.
To the question burning in my blood,
come give an answer with a kiss, come, come!
As the small hand touches it,
the big hand quivers with excitement,
my darling, inside your clock.
To touch the big hand,
the small hand yearns,
right now, at this very hour...
