As the Mississippi river
shakes and shimmers,
and a mini skirt gently
bounces and dances,
will you like it, my love?
Will you like it?
As the cherry blossom here
smiles and blooms,
and strawberry lips
quiver with desire,
would it taste bitter to me, my love?
Would it taste bitter to me?
Touching is pure thrill,
fantastic and grand,
Loving is pure joy,
a gorgeous figure indeed!
As we meet again and again,
as we think of each other,
don't let the sweetness overflow!
After touching your body,
another woman's body
my fingers will never touch!
Aila lae aila lae aila lae
As the Mississippi river
shakes and shimmers,
and a mini skirt gently
bounces and dances,
will you like it, my love?
Will you like it?
As the cherry blossom here
smiles and blooms,
and strawberry lips
quiver with desire,
would it taste bitter to me, my love?
Would it taste bitter to me?
...
You must give me the wine
that rests upon your lips!
Why need champagne beyond this?
I want it, I want it!
It is you that I want to wear
as my garment tonight!
Among clothes, why on earth
do I need a nighty?
You are a beautiful angel,
my lap is a swing for you.
Female: You are a cool AC that follows me,
coaxing and speaking sweet words to you,
even if chased away, it never leaves—
your memory!
Female: Staging it continuously around my waist,
perform your romantic play!
Aila lae aila lae aila lae
As the Mississippi river
shakes and shimmers,
and a mini skirt gently
bounces and dances,
will you like it, my love?
Will you like it?
As the cherry blossom here
smiles and blooms,
and strawberry lips
quiver with desire,
would it taste bitter to me, my love?
Would it taste bitter to me?
...
In an American style,
life must be arranged!
With the right to separate,
a relationship is what is wanted!
A million dollars for me,
is needed for this!
More precious than that,
your love is what I want!
As I keep touching you again and again,
you should come to touch me back.
Female: As I keep touching you again and again,
you should give yourself to me.
For you and me to travel together,
there is only one boat!
Female: The path my feet walk
is always your route!
Aila lae aila lae aila lae
As the Mississippi river
shakes and shimmers,
and a mini skirt gently
bounces and dances,
will you like it, my love?
Will you like it?
As the cherry blossom here

would it taste bitter to me, my love?
