Hello...
Vibrant, lively art,
love alone is the true art!
Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me,
let the company of the love god continue!
With a tingling chill,
with a soothing cool breeze,
youth begins to blossom.
Love alone
is right for this world!
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Hey.. vibrant, lively art,
love alone is the true art!
Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me,
let the company of the love god continue!
A word left unsaid
holds immense value.
A place left untouched
burns with intense heat.
Only as long as you search,
does life feel real!
Only as long as you run,
does victory feel real!
Love and passion
bring true joy later;
a human being is
truly alive only after feeling them.
Experience will reveal this to you
only in time.. oh oh...
Vibrant, lively art,
love alone is the true art!
Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me,
let the company of the love god continue!
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
If I were on a temple street,
a thousand prayers would have been offered.
I am trapped on the street of young men,
so steal me away...
Embrace me morning and evening,
wash away your worries,
I am a dress woven of sweet sin,
so put me on...
The more you consume, the hungrier you get;
the flavor remains until the very end.
Come and pour water on me,
and I will bloom like a flower.
It will never fade or lose color,
this blossom of my love.
To rule over me as your heart desires,
you alone must come...
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Hey.. tell me the price of desire!
Tell me the price of love!
Tell me the price of youth!
Tell me the price of pleasure!
I will write a deed and buy you completely,
making you mine forever, girl!
If anyone else dares to lay eyes on you,
I will kill them, girl!
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
Aaha..yee..aaha..yee..
