Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This romantic duet portrays a playful banter between two lovers who are drawn to each other with intense passion. The hero urges his beloved to let go of her inhibitions and surrender to physical intimacy, asking for embraces and kisses. The heroine gently resists his haste, reminding him that proper traditions—such as sending wedding invitations and completing the marriage—must precede their intimate union.
