Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
You are a real girl
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
You are a white belle
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
You are a real girl
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
You are a white belle
Saying "Go away, go away,"
shyness has left me
Saying "Come here, come here,"
desire has taken hold of me
Secrets of the bed and playful charms,
as youth learns them, what can I say?
Pinch me gently, just a little!
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
You are a real girl
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
You are a white belle
The flood of love
overflows with the beauty of the Ganga
In this sweet lovers' quarrel,
come and dive into our union
When gathered in bed, bouncing like a ball,
I am a spotted deer, a darling sweetheart,
a sweet lump of sugar, a diamond treasure box!
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
You are a real girl
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
You are a white belle
Taking this book called a woman into your hands,
gently reading the philosophy of desire,
Taking this book called a woman into your hands,
gently reading the philosophy of desire,
From touching the front body to the epilogue,
what wonders did you find?
One by one,
tell me, my darling!
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
Fireflies twinkle in the eyes
You are a real girl
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
Are those golden cheeks, or the colors of a smile?
You are a white belle
