I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
And I got what I desired!
Today is a festival for us, dance with joy!
Come close to me... La la la la
I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
And I got what I desired!
Today is a festival for us, dance with joy!
Like diamonds set in pure gold,
my body glows like gold!
Like a flower that never fades when touched,
I have come, I have given myself to you!
I am with you, you be with me, come,
as I sing, you can dance!
Every single day is a celebration!
Come, let precious kisses shower down, come on!
I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
And I got what I desired!
Today is a festival for us, dance with joy!
...
What if you place a flower in my hands?
What if you hold me close and smile?
What if you take the fruit,
squeeze out its juice, and drink it all?
Why fear? Why feel shy? Come!
When love arrives, desire follows,
bringing sweet intoxication and passion!
Look, here is a flower-like girl, sweet as candy, come on!
I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
And I got what I desired!
Today is a festival for us, dance with joy!
Come close to me... La la la la
I kept thinking, I kept thinking,
I thought only of you!
And I got what I desired!
Today is a festival for us, dance with joy!
