At twenty years of age,
it is restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
Twenty years of age,
restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
I am twenty years of age,
full of restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
Even the light weight of a nose pin
this delicate body cannot bear.
Yet in passion, to me here,
even a mountain is like a speck of dust!
If just a flower brushes against it,
my heart gets bruised,
yet when pouncing in passion,
even a fierce tiger is like a tiny ant!
Oh oo oo ooo ooo
Oho ooo oo oo ooo oo ooo
Twenty years of age,
restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
A strange feeling in my heart,
oh, it stirs the moment I see you!
[Chorus]
Female: Hiding or keeping secrets,
I have none of that here in me.
[Chorus]
What is the cruelest thing of all?
Being all alone in one's youth!
Forget your shyness, come hold me close!
Touch me with wild passion,
let love marks stay all over my body!
I am not a girl who fears a man's strength!
A strange feeling in my heart,
oh, it stirs the moment I see you!
Hiding or secrets, I have none with me.
You can wrap your arms around me,
you can touch me completely,
you can rest against my chest and sleep.
Twenty years of age,
restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
Youth is a library,
and I am a book in it!
[Chorus]
Female: You are the right reader,
come and read all of me!
[Chorus]
My body takes your breath away,
I am a whale and you are the ocean!
When will I ever reach your boundaries?
These clothes feel like a burden,
come right away and ease it!
It would be wonderful if your body became my dress!
Youth is a library,
and I am a book in it!
You are the right reader,
come and read all of me!
I am a mystery novel,
turn the pages and read me!
Every single page
has its own special flavor!
Twenty years of age,
restless excitement!
Anyone who doesn't desire me
has faulty vision!
Even the light weight of a nose pin
this delicate body cannot bear.
Yet in passion, to me here,
even a mountain is like a speck of dust!
If just a flower brushes against it,
my heart gets bruised,
yet when pouncing in passion,
even a fierce tiger is like a tiny ant!
