Bull, bull, wild bull
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
Bull, bull, wild bull,
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
Me here with you,
And you here with me,
Is what I am seeing today a dream?
I want to see you every day,
I want to be with you,
You must tame me,
You must give me kisses,
You must playfully bite me,
Hold me tight in your arms,
Make love to me,
And your little bull,
I want to carry in my womb!
Hey girl, because of you,
I fell in love all on my own.
It was all because of your eyes,
That I came chasing after you.
I will never forget this day,
From now on, your life is filled by me!
If you say "I love you",
I will drink in celebration!
Bull, bull, wild bull,
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
Bull, bull, wild bull,
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
...
Why on earth did I
look at you,
and fall in love?
"Do I really need him?"
A hundred times,
I asked myself!
You just wouldn't give up.
When I get ready
to come and see you,
every single dress of mine
longs to see you!
When I search around for where you are,
even my hair searches along with me!
"Without me,
can you live?"
I will never ask you that.
And if you ever ask me that,
I wouldn't be able to bear those words!
Hey girl, because of you,
I fell in love all on my own.
It was all because of your eyes,
That I came chasing after you.
I will never forget this day,
From now on, your life is filled by me!
If you say "I love you",
I will drink in celebration!
Bull, bull, wild bull,
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
Bull, bull, wild bull,
Untamed bull...
More and more,
My love grows for you!
Me here with you,
And you here with me,
Is what I am seeing today a dream?
I want to see you every day,
I want to be with you,
You must tame me,
You must give me kisses,
You must playfully bite me,
Hold me tight in your arms,
Make love to me,
And your little bull,
I want to carry in my womb!
Hey girl, because of you,
I fell in love all on my own.
It was all because of your eyes,
That I came chasing after you.
I will never forget this day,
From now on, your life is filled by me!
If you say "I love you",
In pure joy,
I'll drink, drink, drink,
I'll drink, drink, drink and celebrate!
