I am young and tender, come brush against me gently,
I am brand new, and my name is Sarasu.
There is no one around us here,
There is no use in being shy.
There is no one around us here,
There is no use in being shy.
It's been ten months since I came of age,
With desire piling upon desire on that, on that!
I am young and tender, come brush against me gently,
I am brand new, and my name is Sarasu.
Dancing wild new steps leaves me breathless,
And when a man looks at me, my heart longs on its own.
Dancing wild new steps leaves me breathless,
And when a man looks at me, my heart longs on its own.
To hold close, to stick tight,
This young girl yearns.
Both my cheeks plead for a kiss,
And stir up restless feelings inside.
Pluck the flower with its stem, slowly, softly...
I am young and tender, come brush against me gently,
I am brand new, and my name is Sarasu.
There is no one around us here,
There is no use in being shy.
It's been ten months since I came of age,
With desire piling upon desire on that, on that!
Hey stylish darling, come to me!
My name is Romeo!
You're going to be my secret lover,
That is my idea!
My name is Romeo!
You're going to be my secret lover,
That is my idea!
You tiny, short fellow, do you really need a mistress?
My sweet man, are you coming to claim full ownership of me?
Pluck the flower with its stem, slowly, softly...
I am young and tender, come brush against me gently,
I am brand new, and my name is Sarasu.
There is no one around us here,
There is no use in being shy.
It's been ten months since I came of age,
With desire piling upon desire on that, on that!
I am young and tender, come brush against me gently,
I am brand new, and my name is Sarasu.
