...
I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep.
A silky lotus asks for a kiss, oh! / As soon as your fingers touch, my flower-like body breaks into a sweat every day, oh!
When the earth looks up at the sky and longs for rain every day, won't it shower down? / From now on, I am the earth; won't it turn cool and soothing so our hearts unite completely?
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la... I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep.
This is the very height of love, as we come closer together. Why hold anything back now? Whom do we have to fear anymore?
All four kinds of shyness have drifted away to the side. As I see heaven right here on earth, my heart is completely enchanted.
The woven dress is merely a drape over your cream-soft body. / Does a blooming banana tree invite the cool breeze? Does the horizon ask the ocean's permission to touch it?
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la... I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep.
A silky lotus asks for a kiss, oh! / As soon as your fingers touch, my flower-like body breaks into a sweat every day, oh!
Hey hey hey heye heyy, hey hey hey heye heyy!
The pomegranate fruit ripens, and the love parrot will peck at it now. These soft lips yield and surrender, as our eyes spin in desire.
The lovely girl's round eyes make a plan. Desires bind me tight, as sweet joy overflows.
Won't this flowing stream speak, won't it come and rest upon your shoulder? / Is this the palace of the god of love? Is this a love spell? Is this body a drum to play a rhythm on?
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la... I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep.
A silky lotus asks for a kiss, oh! / As soon as your fingers touch, my flower-like body breaks into a sweat every day, oh!
When the earth looks up at the sky and longs for rain every day, won't it shower down? / From now on, I am the earth; won't it turn cool and soothing so our hearts unite completely?
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la... I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep. I will never forget you, even for a day; my heart cannot sleep.
