Heihei heihei heihei heihei
Ah... if the grasshopper just clips the stalk,
oh, the round jasmine will bud and bloom!
We must win, we must live and win!
......
From winking and winking,
my eyes have started to ache!
From kissing and kissing,
my breath has grown burning hot!
Waiting for the dawn to break,
the lamp too has burned out!
What else do you want?
Just tell me, tell me, my gentle deer!
Oh my deer, my deer, my deer!
From winking and winking,
my eyes have started to ache!
From kissing and kissing,
my breath has grown burning hot... hoy!
Hoy hoy hoy hoy...
My love, adorn your eyes with kohl!
Chorus: Adorn yourself, adorn, adorn, adorn!
Male: Adorn your chrysanthemum-petal lips with a smile!
Chorus: Adorn yourself, adorn, adorn, adorn!
Take a star-like stone and adorn your nose stud!
Adorn your moon-like forehead with a bindi!
Adorn your feet with jingling anklets!
Adorn yourself with earrings that swing against your shoulders!
You enter my dreams every day
and slay me with love, my beauty!
As for your heart alone,
adorn it with me!
From winking and winking,
my eyes have started to ache!
From kissing and kissing,
my breath has grown burning hot...
Ha ha... aa... aa... aa...
Hoyyy...
Hoy... hoy... hoy... hoy...
Hoy... hoy... hoy...
My love, allow me to seek the moisture on your lips!
Chorus: Give permission, grant permission, grant permission, grant permission!
Male: Allow the touch of my fingers to reach your very soul!
Chorus: Give permission, grant permission, grant permission, grant permission!
Allow me to sail across this wondrous boat!
Allow me to be a student in the pillow school!
Allow me to circle you like a planet in the sky!
Allow me to pluck flowers in the garden of your shoulders!
Allow me to bathe in your secret river!
Allow my nighttime dreams to come true!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
From winking and winking,
my eyes have started to ache!
From kissing and kissing,
my breath has grown burning hot...
Waiting for the dawn to break,
the lamp too has burned out!
What else do you want?
Just tell me, tell me, my gentle deer!
Oh my deer, my deer, my deer!
From winking and winking,
my eyes have started to ache!
From kissing and kissing,
my breath has grown burning hot...
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey hey!
