Aaha ha aaha ha
A sweet young girl, a darling dear,
Is about to share some news.
Just hearing it brings pure joy:
"My darling, I am truly yours!"
This sweet young girl, my darling dear,
Is about to share some news.
I heard it, I heard it, what pure joy:
"My darling, I am truly yours!"
Aah ha aah aah ha
A flowering vine bearing a sweet fruit—
Is she walking this way?
A green parrot fluttering from kohl-lined eyes—
Is it searching for you?
The romantic play between two lovers—
Is it taking the stage now?
As hands keep touching, does the body
Experience sweet bliss?
A vision of blooming youth,
Will I get to see it every single day?
A vision of blooming youth,
Will I get to see it every single day?
Come, let us live in pure joy!
My darling, I am truly yours!
This sweet young girl, your darling dear,
Is about to share some news.
Just hearing it brings pure joy:
"My darling, I am truly yours!"
La la laal la laal la
Laala la laal laal la
I will touch you from head to toe!
What eager haste!
I will stir every nerve and pulse!
What will become of me?
I will wrap around you like a garment!
Can my slender waist endure it?
I will play upon your chest and shoulders!
Will my body be able to bear it?
When we embrace, it is pure bliss,
And I, your sweetheart, am completely yours!
When we embrace, it is pure bliss,
And I, your sweetheart, am completely yours!
Come, let us live in pure joy!
My darling, you alone are mine!
This sweet young girl, a darling dear,
Is about to share some news.
I heard it, I heard it, what pure joy:
"My darling, I am truly yours!"
Laal la laala
Laal la laala...
