There is a sweet pleasure in holding you
That is enough, mister, mmm, why rush into this?
There is a sweet pleasure in holding you
That is enough, mister, mmm, why rush into this?
You need patience, mister, please wait a little
Hold me gently, as if I were gold or a tender flower
There is a sweet pleasure in holding you
That is enough, mister, mmm, why rush into this?
{Youth is ripe and calling out to you, my dear
The heart is hungry and longing for love} (2)
Rushing eagerly upon the bed,
together with your gentle hands,
the moment we touched, a breeze of desire
keeps me awake with its restless dance,
it keeps going, my princess, listen to me,
after all, am I not your beloved?
There is a cozy warmth inside my body
Thinking of you brings such a playful thrill!
In the darkness of the night, I am your companion
Come to me, darling, from now on you are mine
There is a cozy warmth inside my body
Thinking of you brings such a playful thrill!
{Giving my wholehearted consent,
I came close to your side,
realizing what this love entails, I felt shy and restless} (2)
This is enough for today,
and whenever you ask for my love,
without ever saying no, every day
I will gladly give myself to you
It feels sweet, my dear, yet it brings a sweet torment,
and even that torment is pure bliss!
There is a sweet pleasure in holding you
That is enough, mister, mmm, why rush into this?
Male: In the darkness of the night, I am your companion
Come to me, darling, from now on you are mine
There is a cozy warmth inside my body
Thinking of you brings such a playful thrill!

Hayo hayo hayo hayalo} (2)

Hayo hayo hayo hayalo} (2)
