My king, my king,
Come close to me, my king.
With that wicked smile of yours,
This gentle boy,
Has turned into someone completely strange.
Rose, my rose,
Come cuddle with me, my rose.
On that glass-like waist of yours,
As a wild spirit revealed itself,
I saw how incredible you truly are.
Possessing me like a spirit,
Why are you picking a fight?
Even without a radio playing,
Striking up a tune in your heart,
Why are you singing away?
You blindfold my eyes and leave me lost in the woods.
When I lie flat on my back,
You touch me here and there and turn up the heat.
You made me mad out in the open wastelands,
Yet love blossomed along Church Road.
When my charming girl comes and stands by me,
Even the crescent moon gets in the mood.
Every single star in the sky
Draws rangoli patterns when you arrive.
I am your wife, mister!
You had better stay under control.
Without getting beaten up,
Listen to what I tell you,
And live resting on my lap.
In the chilly wind, you prick me like a needle.
In your sweet talk, you show how deep your passion goes.
Female: Across this body full of sweet curves,
You light and toss firecrackers!
In your hurry to wrap me up,
Why do you drop down heavy like an anchor?
Male: Without a single worry in the world,
You suddenly bloom like a flower.
Never staying calm or still,
Back and forth, from front to back,
You keep conducting your research.
My king, my king,
Come close to me, my king.
Male: Rose, my rose,
Come cuddle with me, my rose.
On your glass-like waist, a wild spirit
Appeared, and I saw how incredible you truly are.
Female: Possessing me like a spirit,
Why are you picking a fight?
Even without a radio playing,
Striking up a tune in your heart,
Why are you singing away?
You blindfold my eyes and leave me lost in the woods.
When I lie flat on my back,
You touch me here and there and turn up the heat.
