Thinking of it again and again, my heart is entranced.
Thinking of it again and again, my heart is entranced.
The lesson learned yesterday tastes so sweet.
Holding me close repeatedly in that night,
The pleasure showered endlessly... haa... haa... haa haa ahaa...
.........................
With milk and fruit served right before us,
when he said he was not hungry at all,
and I asked him why that was so,
he gathered me in his arms, saying it was my youthful beauty.
As you speak, I bound with joy,
tell me now, what comes next?
As you speak, I bound with joy,
tell me now, what comes next?
With the heart yearning and the body trembling,
as both our lips come together... come together... come together...
Thinking of it again and again, my heart is entranced.
The lesson learned yesterday tastes so sweet.
Holding me close repeatedly in that night,
The pleasure showered endlessly... haa... haa... haa haa..ahaa...
.........................
As bashfulness overtook me,
as four eyes spoke to each other in turns,
as a sweet rain of honey showered down,
he and I sang, danced, and got completely drenched.
As you speak, I bound with joy,
tell me now, what comes next?
As you speak, I bound with joy,
tell me now, what comes next?
With cheeks blushing red and thoughts turning sweet,
fondling and caressing until dawn arrives... arrives... arrives...
Thinking of it again and again, my heart is entranced.
The lesson learned yesterday tastes so sweet.
Holding me close repeatedly in this night,
The pleasure showered endlessly... haa... haa... haa..haa..haa
