Enchanter, my sweet enchanter!
Casting a spell and sweeping me off my feet,
my magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
My magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
He is coming, he is coming close!
Ready to take on the blowing breeze,
he twirled his mustache,
and showed his longing for me!
He twirled his mustache,
and showed his longing for me!
Vanishing like magic,
you put henna on my hands.
Slyly brushing against me,
you hook your fingers into mine.
Without letting the warmth fade, you gently lure me in.
Sweet as the scent of jasmine,
my heart is pounding...
Enchanter, my sweet enchanter!
Casting a spell and sweeping me off my feet,
my magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
My magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
Without just brushing past and walking away,
without keeping secrets from me,
I want to hold you close against my chest,
shower you with kisses and cuddle you!
Hey, my restless desire
beats wildly to celebrate!
Pushing you onto the soft bed,
I want to embrace you without holding back!
I will learn all your tricks
right before your eyes.
Mesmerizing me, my beautiful girl,
do not tease and slay my heart!
Hey, all the hidden
pearls are spilling because of you!
Everything held deep inside
surges forward on its own!
A sudden rush of passion
sprouts and overflows,
while all my shyness
dissolves and burns away!
Male: To reach just a little closer,
my eyes plead with you, my darling!
Enchanter, my sweet enchanter!
Casting a spell and sweeping me off my feet,
my magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
My magical sweetheart,
he made me fall for him!
He is coming, he is coming close!
Ready to take on the blowing breeze,
he twirled his mustache,
and showed his longing for me!
He twirled his mustache,
and showed his longing for me!
Full and glowing like the bright moon,
you radiate your light.
Melting within my eyes,
you bloom without a worry.
Like a gentle drizzle,
you bring a cool breeze,
and warmly, cozily,
you wrap yourself around me.
Male: Drawing close to you,
my heart is pounding...
Female: Enchanter, my sweet enchanter!
