I give life its true value,
my body is an art for you from now on.
Bring your eyes to me,
come see this womanhood!
Among women, I am pure gold,
and in wine, I am the intoxication!
Bring your eyes to me,
come see this womanhood!
Saying that this is heaven for love,
and keeping it strictly guarded,
what is the use of covering it all with clothes?
Calling it a service born of desire,
an offering made to my man,
what is wrong with caressing without shame?
I will cover you with my hair, I will dance as you desire,
this girl is in your hands...
Bring your eyes to me,
come see this womanhood!
I did not dance because I was told to,
I did not sing because I was asked to,
do not hesitate just because it came freely.
Yielding within your embrace,
making way for love,
do not be shy even after this girl has spoken her heart!
You can see day in the night, and night in the day,
come close to me...
Bring your eyes to me,
come see this womanhood!
With a bed laid with flowers,
leaving you free to taste the honey,
when I myself have come to be with you,
why any hesitation?
With a cup in your hand and a lovely woman beside you,
what other company do you need to live?
You may look at me; all I ask for are your eyes,
long live love...
Oh.....oho.....oh.....oho.....
I give life its true value,
my body is an art for you from now on.
Bring your eyes to me,
come see this womanhood!
Among women, I am pure gold,
and in wine, I am the intoxication!
