Ah... aaaaaah...
He laid his hands on me, he set his eyes on me,
This tired sweetheart of mine!
He laid his hands on me, he set his eyes on me,
This tired sweetheart of mine!
My golden body, all of it,
Is aching and bruised... aching and bruised...
I touched pure gold and lost my senses,
I ended up trapped in your net!
I touched pure gold and lost my senses,
I ended up trapped in your net!
All my pride and all my fiery rush,
Have gone to waste, all to waste...
He laid his hands on me, he set his eyes on me,
This tired sweetheart of mine!
You lost your cool, why stand there dazed for nothing?
You lost your cool, why stand there dazed for nothing?
I came to you on my own, why hesitate? Gather me into your arms!
Like sweet milk and ripe fruit, you came to me, my girl,
Like sweet milk and ripe fruit, you came to me, my girl,
You gave me a delicious taste to satisfy my hunger!
Don't stop now...
Male: Don't hold me back!
Female: Don't stop now...
Male: Don't hold me back!
Both: Let us float away together in unforgettable memories...
He laid his hands on me, he set his eyes on me,
This tired sweetheart of mine!
I touched pure gold and lost my senses,
I ended up trapped in your net!
My golden girl blushing with shyness, I give you my thanks, my dear,
(Humming)
My golden girl blushing with shyness, I give you my thanks, my dear,
Will you fulfill the secret desire resting in my heart?
Sweet as honey, soft as a flower, I will give you a son,
Sweet as honey, soft as a flower, I will give you a son,
I will raise him strong, like an unbending sword!
Do not deny me...
Female: How could I deny you now?
Male: Do not deny me...
Female: How could I deny you now?
Both: Let us fly away to see the fruit orchard that satisfies our hunger...
