Are those eyes?
Mmm...
Or flashes of lightning?
Mmm...
Is it hair, or a swing?
Did this sweet confusion come because you arrived?
My love...
Silence has turned into a song, my love!
Is this happiness a gift from you?
My bright moon...
Oh, I am no longer myself!
And sleep has left my eyes, hoy!
Are those eyes or lightning? Is it hair or a swing?
Did this sweet confusion come because you arrived?
My love...
On your rose-like body,
the sweet scent of screw-pine flowers,
I discovered right here, my girl!
At the corner of your crimson lips,
for that warm honey,
I stood yearning, my girl!
Unable to bear even a touch,
yet unwilling to leave when let go,
my heart sways gently now!
Turning all of your kisses
into precious pearls,
I will string a garland of gems!
Making you a mother,
I will sing you a lullaby, my darling!
Oh... ho...
Silence has turned into a song, my love!
Is this happiness a gift from you?
Oh, my bright moon...
Are those eyes or lightning? Is it hair or a swing?
Did this sweet confusion come because you arrived?
My love...
This is the beginning of love!
This is the beginning of love!
This is the beginning of love!
This is the beginning of love!
In a flood of sheer bliss,
as I was drowning,
I struggled even to breathe!
As I was falling,
catching fire on the way down,
I became like a shooting star!
In the kingdom of the god of love,
every kind of pleasure that exists,
I received them all!
Even after being given everything,
like a heart that still has nothing,
I yearned for you day after day!
This is forever
an unquenchable thirst, my love...
Are those eyes or lightning? Is it hair or a swing?
Did this sweet confusion come because you arrived?
My love... oh... ho...
Silence... Mmm...
has turned into a song... Mmm...
it truly has... Mmm...
my love... Mmm...
Is this happiness a gift from you?
My bright moon...
Oh, I am no longer myself!
And sleep has left my eyes, hoy!
Are those eyes or lightning? Mmm...
Is it hair... Ha...
...or a swing? Ha...
Did this sweet confusion come because you arrived?
My love... / My bright moon...
