Aaha... aaha... haa...
I give thanks
to my eyes,
for bringing you close to me.
As I keep thanking them,
why do I slowly lose myself?
Lala la la la lala la la la lalalaa...
Aaha... aaaa... haaa...
Male: Aaha... aaaa... haaa...
In a lovely painting,
the lips are like red coral,
and honey spills from their smile.
Male: Aahaaaa... haaaaa... hmmm... lalalaa...
In a lovely painting,
the lips are like red coral,
and honey spills from their smile.
In the beauty blooming on those red lips,
let the heart melt away.
Every day, let your man
drink a little from them.
At the moment he drinks,
his eyes will grow enchanted.
When that sweet pleasure overflows,
the woman will swoon with delight.
I give thanks
to my eyes,
for bringing you close to me.
As I keep thanking them,
why do I slowly lose myself?
Like a golden statue,
I was standing alone,
and like a fine silver chariot,
there you were.
I lived through all those days,
but from now on, there is no loneliness.
No matter how I lived before,
it never had this sweetness.
On the first day, with just a look,
you called me to your side.
The very next day, with just a word,
you gave me a rich feast.
I give thanks
to my eyes,
for bringing you close to me.
As I keep thanking them,
why do I slowly lose myself?
