Will you give me a kiss?
Will you give me a kiss?
Without tickling me,
will you give me a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Without making it messy,
shall I give you a kiss?
Covering the eyes with one hand,
wrapping the other hand around the heart,
like clock hands overlapping at twelve,
will you come stand with me?
Hey, seeing the inner beauty with one eye,
and the outside world with the other,
as if finding something never seen before,
will you come lose yourself in bliss?
Will you give me a kiss?
Will you give me a kiss?
Without tickling me,
will you give me a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Without making it messy,
shall I give you a kiss?
Your smile,
right in the middle
of my chest,
I will hide away.
Hey, your kisses,
inside a bank,
little by little,
I will save up.
To measure your love,
I really need to measure it,
even spacecrafts
are needed for that.
Gathering your fragrance
day after day,
the whole atmosphere
must be refreshed.
With your eyelashes
touching my eyelids,
this is the moment to sign our love.
Will you give me a kiss?
Will you give me a kiss?
Without tickling me,
will you give me a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Without making it messy,
shall I give you a kiss?
A curving bay
lies at your waist,
and to travel around it,
there is a way.
Magnetic waves
are in your smile,
and to melt into them,
there is desire.
In this world, only a part
is made of land,
but the whole of my life
belongs to you, girl.
In just two minutes,
jasmine flowers bloom;
when you touch my youth,
it blooms in an instant.
O glass statue,
if you smile even a little,
a bright light
will suddenly shine.
Will you give me a kiss?
Will you give me a kiss?
Without tickling me,
will you give me a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Shall I give you a kiss?
Without making it messy,
shall I give you a kiss?
