Shall I count and tell the tally of your kisses?
It has reached three hundred, so why is there still an argument?
Wrap your arms around me
and drape a garland around my shoulders.
Aa aa aa... aa...
Shall I count and tell the tally of your kisses?
It has reached three hundred, so why is there still an argument?
Wrap your arms around me
and drape a garland around my shoulders.
As your cloud-like hair forms a canopy of flowers,
and you sway gently like a boat on the water,
As your cloud-like hair forms a canopy of flowers,
and you sway gently like a boat on the water,
Passion overwhelms me and I lose myself,
Praise me as I let myself be swept away...
Shall I count and tell the tally of your kisses?
It has reached three hundred, so why is there still an argument?
Wrap your arms around me
and drape a garland around my shoulders.
Aa aa aa... aa...
Even when there are no lamps in the sky,
the light in my woman's eyes is more than enough.
Even when there are no lamps in the sky,
the light in my woman's eyes is more than enough.
When we perform the sacred rites of love,
the fire made by our bodies is enough.
Shall I count and tell the tally of your kisses?
It has reached three hundred, so why is there still an argument?
You are a golden beauty lulled by flowers,
and your tender gaze warms me up.
If you look at this flower with half-closed eyes,
something is surely needed to cure your lovesickness...
Shall I count and tell the tally of your kisses?
It has reached three hundred, so why is there still an argument?
Wrap your arms around me
and drape a garland around my shoulders.
