Romeo...
Juliet!
Hoo... ooh... ooh...
Another sky,
another moon,
standing before me,
a dream of love spoken through the eyes!
Another cloud,
another streak of lightning,
ah, have they met face to face with
my blue eyes?
Another sky,
another moon,
standing before me,
a dream of love spoken through the eyes!
Another cloud,
another streak of lightning,
ah, have they met face to face with
my blue eyes?
Ooh... ooh... oh...
A thousand pots of honey
gathered together in these cheeks!
Aah... aah... ooh...
A thousand pots of honey
gathered together in these cheeks!
A hundred thousand plays
performed by this graceful beauty!
Aah... aah... ah...
Because it is sweet honey, red lips
long to meet and taste it!
Aah... aah... aah... haa...
Because it is sweet honey, red lips
long to meet and taste it!
What I have given is only half,
the rest is yet to come!
Another sky,
another moon,
standing before me,
a dream of love spoken through the eyes!
A dream of love!
On the body touched by hands,
the shy blush caught by the eyes,
I saw it, my love!
To these kohl-lined eyes,
the handsome charm you wore,
I expressed it, my love!
Life is short...
Make it sweet!
Pouring it all out lavishly,
drinking again and again,
getting lost in bliss—this is that story!
Gathering what was stolen
into her lap,
and hiding it—this is that story!
Another sky,
another moon,
standing before me,
a dream of love spoken through the eyes!
Another cloud,
another streak of lightning,
ah, have they met face to face with
my blue eyes?
