I have completely forgotten, it has been so long
Since we played in each other's lap
And loved to our hearts' content
Is this the place? Will what you desire happen here?
There is a place to play
And there is a right time for everything to be intimate
There is a right time for everything to be intimate
I have completely forgotten, it has been so long
Since we played in each other's lap
And loved to our hearts' content
To touch you gently and kiss your lovely lips
Come to me, my darling
Come quickly here and give me
My full share, my precious gem
A sweet voice won't chatter, where are ripe lips here?
You should know this, my beloved Kannan
Come in secret and from my
Flower-like lips
Receive your kisses, my king
I have completely forgotten, it has been so long
Since we played in each other's lap
And loved to our hearts' content
Wedding on the first day, celebration on the next
And long days of endless joy
Wedding on the first day, celebration on the next
And long days of endless joy
Not just for one day, but to celebrate a festival of love
I will come along with you
Not just for one day, but to celebrate a festival of love
I will come along with you
If you give three hundred, I will give mine in return
What will happen if you try to hold back?
If you give three hundred, I will give mine in return
What will happen if you try to hold back?
I gathered you into my arms and held you close to my chest
Give in to me, at least today!
I gathered you into my arms and held you close to my chest
Give in to me, at least today!
I have completely forgotten, it has been so long
Since we played in each other's lap
And loved to our hearts' content
Can one really forget? The heart knows well
There is a place to play
Ah... and there is a time to be intimate
