Flower!
Oh flower, flower, flower!
Oh intoxicating flower!
Have mercy on me, oh flower!
The moment I look at you,
my head starts spinning!
You are doing something to me, you cruel beauty!
Like a flash of lightning,
you surge through me,
and I burn with heat, girl!
Flower!
Oh flower, flower, flower!
Oh intoxicating flower!
Have mercy on me, oh flower!
The moment I look at you,
my head starts spinning!
You are doing something to me, you cruel beauty!
Like a flash of lightning,
you surge through me,
and I burn with heat, girl!
Oh girl, it is me, it is me, it is me!
Flying all over the world,
wandering day and night,
I searched everywhere, but like you,
there is no beauty at all...
Entering like an investigator,
deep inside your body,
brand new treasures,
I long to discover!
Your body is like a dining leaf, girl,
on which you must serve me!
Like a sacred offering, I would eat
the very dust touched by your feet!
I fell for your beauty,
I fell, I did, I did!
The moment I look at you,
my head starts spinning!
You are doing something to me, you cruel beauty!
Like a flash of lightning,
you surge through me,
and I burn with heat, girl!
Flower!
Oh flower, flower, flower!
Oh intoxicating flower!
Have mercy on me, oh flower!
Your lips stir my desire,
help me brush against them,
open the doorway of your youth,
oh fragrant jasmine!
There is a lovely curve at your waist,
and looking up, I see the moon!
Until I finish taking it all in,
I have no patience left!
If you cast just one glance at me,
won't my soul burn in fire?
The sweet scent of the dress you wear,
won't it grant me supreme bliss?
Is your body an ocean?
I am lost in it, I am, I am!
The moment I look at you,
my head starts spinning!
You are doing something to me, you cruel beauty!
Like a flash of lightning,
you surge through me,
and I burn with heat, girl!
Oh girl, it is me, it is me, it is me!
