Am I not the woman swimming in your thoughts?
Am I not a bouquet adorned with colors?
Aren't these eyes flashing lightning? Come... come...
Am I not the woman swimming in your thoughts?
Am I not a bouquet adorned with colors?
Aren't these eyes flashing lightning? Come... come...
Drenched in the dew, ripened in the moonlight,
a woman called out, 'Come!'
Grown on a vine, blossomed in the heart,
a flower said, 'Look at me!'
...
A single day's passion ends in a single day,
the joy of this festive day must last for many days,
saying, 'Seek your pleasure, come, come...'
Am I not the woman swimming in your thoughts?
Am I not a bouquet adorned with colors?
Aren't these eyes flashing lightning? Come... come...
Come, shall I give you a new pleasure every day?
Will you come to my lap to learn the arts of love?
Shall we, day and night,
live in sweet intoxication?
Gather this woman into your arms a little,
and pleasure will caress you!
Caress her, and seeing the bed,
her womanhood will leap with joy!
Desire knows no shame, my beloved, come...
Gather this woman into your arms a little,
and pleasure will caress you!
Caress her, and seeing the bed,
her womanhood will leap with joy!
Desire knows no shame, my beloved, come...
Yearning to embrace this golden body,
seeking you is heaven itself!
This is a boat sailing on a surging ocean,
there is no need for shyness anymore!
Yearning to embrace this golden body,
seeking you is heaven itself!
This is a boat sailing on a surging ocean,
there is no need for shyness anymore!
Jasmine in the garden, no limits to our playful games,
Jasmine in the garden, no limits to our playful games,
our happiness is boundless!
Here comes the girl to speak of love,
a little parrot ready to dance in your hands,
Will you touch me gently?
To celebrate me like gold and a bunch of blossoms, come, come!
Gather this woman into your arms a little,
and pleasure will caress you!
Caress her, and seeing the bed,
her womanhood will leap with joy!
Desire knows no shame, my beloved, come...
