In what do the two of us find pleasure?
Yeah, yeah...
It is found in giving lips as sweet as honeyed fruit!
Have you ever seen a pearl canopy, the symbol of desire?
In what do the two of us find pleasure?
Yeah, yeah...
It is found in giving lips as sweet as honeyed fruit!
Have you ever seen a pearl canopy, the symbol of desire?
...
I know the arts of love that the world knows,
And a desire arose to share them with you.
I was waiting for the right moment, and that time has arrived.
After all, it was only yesterday that youth blossomed in me too.
Have you ever seen a pearl canopy, the symbol of desire? Oh ho oh...
...
Looking at myself, even I fell in love with me,
And along the way, a longing for pleasure awoke.
Looking at myself, even I fell in love with me,
And along the way, a longing for pleasure awoke.
Looking at the body before me, desire was born,
Even the clothes covering it began to yearn.
In what do the two of us find pleasure?
Yeah, yeah...
It is found in giving lips as sweet as honeyed fruit!
...
We can whisper sweet, meaningless words and get closer,
And dance a little in this quiet world.
We can keep going, tasting the sweetness as we speak,
And explore together to find the gates of heaven!
Have you ever seen a pearl canopy, the symbol of desire? Oh ho oh...
In what do the two of us find pleasure?
Yeah, yeah...
It is found in giving lips as sweet as honeyed fruit!
Have you ever seen a pearl canopy, the symbol of desire? Oh ho oh...
