Gently, so gently,
will you touch my soul?
Gently, with your lips,
will you drench my body?
In this gently melting night,
will you lose yourself in me? Oh oh
Gently, so gently,
will you bend my waist?
Gently, like falling leaves,
will you shed my clothes?
Gently, making my blood quiver,
will you torment me with love? Oh oh ho ho
The jingling of my bangles
slowly falls silent...
All my shyness
shouts in celebration!
Like crawling ants, shyness
creeps across my body...
Gently, so gently,
will you bend my waist?
Gently, like falling leaves,
will you shed my clothes?
Gently, making my blood quiver,
will you torment me with love? Ha... ah... aaaa
Like slithering snakes, drops of sweat
slide down my back...
Won't you touch me, leaving sweet stinging marks?
Ho oh oh ho oh oh
As the blankets slip away,
a battleground of love is born!
Won't you let me hold your waist close? Oh oh
With lips like the bright moon,
swim across my body;
the purpose of this life will be fulfilled!
Before midnight passes
in deep passion,
this pure silence will shatter!
Gently, so gently,
will you bend my waist?
Gently, like falling leaves,
will you shed my clothes?
Gently, making my blood quiver,
will you torment me with love? Ho oh ho ho
Once again like surging waves,
my nerves cry out...
I will gladly die upon your chest!
Ho oh oh oh ho oh
Like a curved crescent,
I pull this night close again and again...
Will I crumble to pieces in your embrace? Oh oh oh
Trembling lips
stumble here and there;
the inner layers of the mind unravel!
Even as your warm fingers
pleasure me till it burns,
the wild desire inside still yearns!
Aaaa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Gently, so gently,
will you bend my waist?
Gently, like falling leaves,
will you shed my clothes?
Gently, making my blood quiver,
will you torment me with love? Ah... ah... ah...
The jingling of my bangles
slowly falls silent...
All my shyness
shouts in celebration!
Like crawling ants, shyness
creeps across my body...
