Aaaaaahhhh….aaaahhhhhhha….
Mmmmmm….aaaah….oohhhhhho….
The caged parrot from the mansion
has come down to the courtyard of a poor home,
singing with all its heart,
lost in the madness of love!
The caged parrot from the mansion
has come down to the courtyard of a poor home,
singing with all its heart,
lost in the madness of love!
The wedded pair of parrots,
in a sweet daze upon the bed,
feels a rhythm throbbing
inside the female parrot's heart!
The caged parrot from the mansion
has come down to the courtyard of a poor home,
singing with all its heart,
lost in the madness of love!
There may be pain while learning,
but inside that pain are a hundred pleasures.
Slowly, shyness runs and hides away,
and bodies wander, longing to intertwine.
The music of sweat
is today's joyful beginning.
All across the woman's body
is the kingdom of Manmatha (the god of love).
A fire burns with every embrace,
refusing to go out the more it is held close!
The caged parrot from the mansion
has come down to the courtyard of a poor home,
singing with all its heart,
lost in the madness of love!
The green parrot gently spreads a feast,
serving all its honey without holding back.
Eager hands wander everywhere,
searching and finding every beauty mark.
In the playful games upon the mattress,
even the new bed struggles to bear it.
In the sweet clashes of intimacy,
her bangles shatter to pieces.
When the morning dawn blooms,
eyes will scramble looking for clothes!
The caged parrot from the mansion
has come down to the courtyard of a poor home,
singing with all its heart,
lost in the madness of love!
The wedded pair of parrots,
in a sweet daze upon the bed,
feels a rhythm throbbing
inside the female parrot's heart!
Aaaahhh... Aaaahhhhh...
Mmmmm... Aaaahh... Ohhhoho
