Our eyes have met and mingled,
From that union, love has taken shape,
Through our eyes alone, innocence was surrendered.
Our eyes have met and mingled,
From that union, love has taken shape,
Through our eyes alone, innocence was surrendered.
Shall I gather you and keep you inside me?
Shall I come and spend myself on you for as long as I live?
Is this the winter chill, or beads of sweat?
Oh girl, shall I touch you gently like the breeze?
I want to lean on your shoulder and hold your hand...
Ah, will your shyness ever let go of you?
Come on... come on... come on... come on... uh... uh
Come on... come on... come on... come on... uh... uh
Oh my God!
I think I did it again,
I think I've seen it again,
Girl, your navel is juicy, fruity,
Girl, I'm losing all my concentration in this world,
I can't even sit still, my little girl,
Girl, now look at how I'm dancing with you, babe,
If you are my girl,
Then I am your man, your man...
Come on... come on... come on... come on... uh... uh
Come on... come on... come on... come on... uh... uh
Ordinary air has become my life's breath,
Love alone has become my whole life,
All other moments have turned so dull.
What is happening deep within this girl?
It is a constant mystery to explore,
Inside a woman lies a man's conscience.
Shall I weave softly over your body with my fingertips?
Ah, will your bashfulness ever leave you alone?
In your breath and in my words,
will the life we share bring sweet fulfillment?
In the flash of your eyes and in playful lies,
our love will thrive in joy.
Oh my God!
I think I did it again... uh... uh
I think I've seen it again, girl... uh... uh
Only ten months were spent in a mother's womb,
From now on, all my lifetime belongs with you.
You are the mother who shelters and holds me...
When I was born, I was a girl,
As I grew up, I became a man,
Yet only through you will I become a mother.
Shall I come close to your ear and whisper a word?
Will the word you speak spare my life?
With a sidelong glance, with sweet authority,
our love will establish its kingdom.
And that rule, my love,
will endure as long as we live.
Come on... come on... uh... uh
Come on... come on... uh... uh
Come on... come on... come on... come on...
Come on... come on... come on... come on...
