It is a milky moonlit hour,
no one is watching us.
From the corner of your petal-soft lips,
may I taste the honey?
Should you really stop me?
It is a milky moonlit hour,
no one is watching us.
From the corner of your petal-soft lips,
may I taste the honey?
Should you really stop me?
When an overflowing pot of sweet wine
is lifted up
to take a sip, why do you hide it away?
When lips begin to write
brand new love stories,
why refuse to read them for the very first time?
To learn the lessons of love in the bedroom,
why this playful sulking?
Why all this shyness?
Would I ever turn down this feast? Why do you pull away?
Oh, you can't escape, kiss me!
Don't miss me, darling!
Mmm... ha ha ha ha!
It is a milky moonlit hour,
no one is watching us.
From the corner of your petal-soft lips,
may I taste the honey?
Should you really stop me?
In your dress and in your walk,
disguising your true self,
why put on such a dramatic show?
To find the right place and pluck
the sweet fruits of your youth,
why has this young heart been longing all this while?
Whatever happened till now was only a game,
now that you understand, praise me.
Lull me to rest upon your lap,
all four of our eyes should swoon in love.
Oh, don't miss me!
You naughty boy!
It is a milky moonlit hour,
no one is watching us.
From the corner of your petal-soft lips,
may I taste the honey?
Should you really stop me?
