...
The sweet yellow flowers
sing of you, my beauty.
The gentle breeze comes
and pinches me here and there.
Unspoken words blossom into flowers here... oh...
A sleepless heart turns into an island... oh...
Even the moon slowly closes its eyes... oh...
The sweet yellow flowers
sing of you, my beauty.
The gentle breeze comes
and pinches me here and there.
The chilly breeze has sparked a fire,
come change the shade of my shyness.
Your desire holds so many colors,
paint a picture of our night.
Bathed in sweat,
an ocean of milk flows every day;
are these like boats,
as this tender body sways?
When my lips
trace her body,
it feels like a blissful prayer.
At the touch of your fingers, lightning flashes,
oh, what pure joy!
The sweet yellow flowers
sing of you, my beauty.
The gentle breeze comes
and pinches me here and there.
Unspoken words blossom into flowers here... oh...
A sleepless heart turns into an island... oh...
Even the moon slowly closes its eyes... oh...
There are a thousand flowers on your body,
I have come to breathe in their fragrance.
Like a dewdrop on the tip of the grass,
I have come to rest within your soul.
I am lost in a trance,
why have my senses gone quiet?
I surrender myself,
her lips have grown parched.
In her playful embrace, the flowers
fallen beneath the bed
have drifted off to sleep.
The night slipped away to the sound of your bangles,
what bliss it is just to think of it!
The sweet yellow flowers
speak of you, my love.
The gentle breeze comes
and pinches me here and there.
Unspoken words blossom into flowers here... oh...
A sleepless heart turns into an island... oh...
Even the moon slowly closes its eyes... oh...
The sweet yellow flowers
sing of you, my beauty.
The gentle breeze comes
and pinches me here and there.
