Marks that blossomed in joy,
Kisses that landed on the cheeks,
This is a season of youth, sweet everywhere!
As we unite and pleasure keeps growing,
Come to my lap, come, come, come!
Thoughts that ripened in the heart,
Colors that blended into the mind,
This is a form so sweet and fragrant!
To embrace until the heart is deeply soothed,
Come close to me, come, come, come!
Flower petals caress only you,
A tender heart speaks only of our bond, ha!
Flower petals caress only you,
A tender heart speaks only of our bond, haan ah ah!
Flower petals caress only you,
A tender heart speaks only of our bond!
It charms the eyes and nurtures dreams,
It is sweet to speak of, giving such delight,
As the buds open and the vine embraces,
To gather pearls and receive tenderness, come, come, come!
Marks that blossomed in joy,
Kisses that landed on the cheeks,
This is a season of youth, sweet everywhere!
As we unite and pleasure keeps growing,
Come to my lap, come, come, come!
Caress me a little with your hands and see,
Think about it, everything is pure gold!
With you inside me and me smiling in you,
With me merging in your eyes and the bed waiting,
Spreading the bed to learn the art of love,
Giving sweetness to create beauty, come, come, come!
Marks that blossomed in joy,
Kisses that landed on the cheeks,
This is a season of youth, sweet everywhere!
As we unite and pleasure keeps growing,
Come to my lap, come, come, come!
