When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
Resting my head on your lap,
resting my head on your lap,
my darling, with you...
I want to share sweet words, as lips...
When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
I had forgotten even my own name,
and you came to me as my very thought.
Why did I ever fly away, leaving you behind?
I came back searching for my life in your eyes.
There is music no concert has ever heard, my dear,
aren't the kisses we share pure melody?
My body rests against your chest,
my body rests against your chest.
When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
For days, my eyes kept fluttering,
won't you ask me why?
My eyes have forgotten their sleep,
and the days do not pass without you.
My love, into your very soul,
I merged and became one.
I came to cure the ache, but became the illness itself.
And I have become your healing medicine.
I have become your healing medicine.
When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
Resting my head on your lap,
my love, with you...
I want to share sweet words.
When lips meet lips,
pleasures flow like a river.
