The drama in the bedroom at midnight...
...is sweet romance, romance, romance, romance, romance!
Female: This young heart of mine, with you forever...
...surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders!
Male: Shall I slowly tell you the things left unsaid?
Female: Oh my goodness, aren't I just a young, innocent girl?
The drama in the bedroom at midnight...
...is sweet romance, romance, romance, romance, romance!
Female: This young heart of mine, with you forever...
...surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders!
Male: Shall I slowly tell you the things left unsaid?
Female: Oh my goodness, aren't I just a young, innocent girl?
As I touch you here and there,
As your body grows warm with passion,
As your flower-like frame melts in my embrace,
Oh my, a sweet shiver runs through me!
A delicious sweetness spreads everywhere!
Will a river of sweet desire overflow?
If my lovely swan comes a little closer,
It will taste sweeter and sweeter!
Female: If my king teaches me even more,
Every kind of joy will come together!
The drama in the bedroom at midnight...
...is sweet romance, romance, romance, romance, romance!
Female: This young heart of mine, with you forever...
...surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders!
Male: Shall I slowly tell you the things left unsaid?
Female: Oh my goodness, aren't I just a young, innocent girl?
Shall I leave a mark of love on you?
Shall we bathe in the honey of pleasure?
What could be more intimate than this?
Today, everything became clear,
A glimpse of heaven was revealed,
Do we still need to come even closer?
Holding tight and staying close,
The lessons we have learned...
Female: ...will stay forever in a young girl's heart,
Like the sacred teachings of the god of love!
The drama in the bedroom at midnight...
...is sweet romance, romance, romance, romance, romance!
Female: This young heart of mine, with you forever...
...surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders, surrenders!
Male: Shall I slowly tell you the things left unsaid?
Female: Oh my goodness, aren't I just a young, innocent girl?
The things left unsaid, I... haha... ha!
Female: Oh my goodness, I... haha... ha!
