My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
Female: Eyes constantly dart and spin around
All the paths are full of sly tricks
Male: Young blood flows in me, and my thoughts are bold and new
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
Spring is arriving, spring is here
Every day, just for us
Come closer, come closer, lose yourself in me
Just as our fingertips touch
What you and I both know and understand,
I have hidden it well from the world
Even the all-knowing God,
I have outsmarted Him too
Your moves are fiercely brilliant
Stepping aside when it is time to step aside
Lying low when it is time to lie low
Male: Neither of us has any fear, yeah!
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
Female: Eyes constantly dart and spin around
All the paths are full of sly tricks
Male: Young blood flows in me, and my thoughts are bold and new
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
Neither this nor that nor anything
Will my heart ever consider wrong
Let anyone and everyone come,
I will bravely face them all
Knowing every twist and turn,
He is a master at making his moves
With charming words, this young tender branch
He captivates like a daring hero
Why worry about anything on this earth?
It is a sweet and joyful time
Our hearts are singing happy tunes
Female: Let boundless pleasure be born and flow, hey!
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
Female: Eyes constantly... Male: Ha!
Female: ...dart and spin! Male: Hey!
Female: All the paths... Male: Ha ha ah!
Female: ...are full of sly tricks!
Male: Young blood flows in me, and my thoughts are bold and new
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
My plans will climb the steps to victory
Human laws will be crushed completely to dust
