…………………………………
...
Everywhere and at all times,
There is music and happiness.
Once the night arrives,
Strict rules fade away.
...
There is a beautifully sculpted woman,
There is a song floating in the air,
Every spot that is touched,
Has no sorrow, only bliss.
Rararare... oh
Everywhere and at all times,
There is music and happiness.
Once the night arrives,
Strict rules fade away.
...
This time is a time for romance,
The world is a spectacle of delight,
Youthful blood surges through the veins,
Ecstasy mounts within the body.
Today and forever, all is pure bliss.
Talking with sweet delight,
Running in all eight directions,
Forgetting earnings and spending freely,
Let us fly high and celebrate!
There is a beautifully sculpted woman,
There is a song floating in the air,
Every spot that is touched,
Has no sorrow, only bliss.
Rararare... oh
...
