If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
Male: If the language of our lips becomes sacred scripture,
what will happen if it turns into music?
If weaving flowers creates a garland,
what will happen if we bind our hearts together?
Male: My precious gem, my jewel, oh oh oh...
Female: If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
On sweet lips, a melody of love
will tenderly make its debut.
From fingertips, a hundred expressions
will sweetly sing musical notes.
From the crown of the head
down to the feet,
all three worlds appear before me.
When I try to step forward and sing,
my longing overpowers me.
Oh flower, oh sweet fragrance,
oh mesmerized heart!
Female: I forgot myself completely,
and was reborn only in thoughts of you.
If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
Female: If the language of our lips becomes sacred scripture,
what will happen if it turns into music?
If weaving flowers creates a garland,
what will happen if we bind our hearts together?
Female: My precious gem, my jewel, oh oh oh...
Male: If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
When this girl longs in loneliness,
you must come to be her companion.
A blanket to cover this body from the cold mist,
you must tenderly give me.
What distance is there between us?
It is pure bliss until the very end.
In between, through the seven musical notes,
we must rest and unwind.
Oh beauty, oh sweet nectar, oh form of love!
Male: I flew all the way to the sky,
and fell into the sweet prison of your love.
If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
Male: If the language of our lips becomes sacred scripture,
what will happen if it turns into music?
If weaving flowers creates a garland,
what will happen if we bind our hearts together?
Male: My precious gem, my jewel, oh oh oh...
Female: If the very first letter is desire,
what will become of the conclusion?
Male: If the language of our lips becomes sacred scripture,
what will happen if it turns into music?
