Hey... yeah...
Female: Ah... haan...
I am young, and you are new to love.
I am young, and you are new to love.
We can spend all our time together,
again and again, until we have had our fill,
giving and receiving love, come to me...
I am new to love, and you are young.
I am new to love, and you are young.
We can spend all our time together,
again and again, until we have had our fill,
giving and receiving love, come to me...
Our journey has begun on a new path,
Female: and we are getting to know each other in a new way.
Male: Our journey has begun on a new path,
Female: and we are getting to know each other in a new way.
The place is new, and our hearts are new—
what is it that we truly desire?
Female: Am I not a woman who will understand
as time goes by?
Male: Are you feeling shy? Come close to me...
Female: Why such a rush, my love?
I am new to love, and you are young.
Male: I am young, and you are new to love.
Female: All day long,
Male: we can get close,
Female: again and again,
Male: until we have had our fill,
Both: giving and receiving love, come to me...
Shall I drape over you like your robe?
Female: Will you cover my flower-soft body?
Male: Shall I drape over you like your robe?
Female: Will you cover my flower-soft body?
Touching the petals of this fresh bud,
shall I gather the sweet honey?
Female: On the very day after our wedding,
should I give it away to you?
You are just like an innocent child, aren't you?
Female: If you hold me close in your arms, won't I leap with joy?
I am young, and you are new to love.
Female: I am new to love, and you are young.
Male: All day long,
Female: we can get close,
Male: again and again,
Female: until we have had our fill,
Both: giving and receiving love, come to me...
