A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss,
It is the sound of two flowers
Bumping softly into each other.
This body is soft like silk,
It aches at the gentle touch of a finger,
And she blushes red the moment she smiles.
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss,
It is the sound of two flowers
Bumping softly into each other.
He is a king who makes love's bed,
When he caresses me, he is Krishna,
The one who drank me in to my very soul.
Thinking only of you, in my home,
I plant saplings to grow a garden.
Thinking only of you, my beloved,
I leave half the bed empty.
I have lost myself in you;
Thinking of you endlessly,
I have grown so frail.
My precious sweet honey,
Trusting only in you,
I left my golden cage and came to you.
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss,
It is the sound of two flowers
Bumping softly into each other.
He is a king who makes love's bed,
When he caresses me, he is Krishna,
The one who drank me in to my very soul.
Whenever I speak your name,
Honey flows deep inside me, so I keep saying it.
What about the kiss you owe me? Right now,
Pay it back with interest—I am warning you!
I stepped into the ocean of pleasure,
I got completely drenched and forgot to dive for pearls.
My sweet darling, I have forgiven you,
Come to my bed and pay your tribute.
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss,
It is the sound of two flowers
Bumping softly into each other.
Haha...
She blushes red the moment she smiles.
