O hibiscus flower,
did you turn into a woman?
Did two purple blossoms become your eyes?
Shall I call you a water lily, or a jasmine?
Shall I call you a wild jasmine, or a child of flowers?
In every glance...
shall I say there is love?
In every dream... shall I say there is desire?
Shall I say you are mine, or that I am yours?
Shall I say you are mine, or that I am yours?
Shall I call it a mustache, or something that crosses the line?
Shall I call you a rock,
or a blanket against the cold? Aha...
You came into my dreams
and sailed your boats!
You came into my heart
and ground it smooth like fine flour!
I stood tall like the Himalayas,
yet you touched me so gently,
and I drifted away like light cotton fluff—
you did something magical to me!
If you snap your fingers and call me,
I will give you a little.
If you wink and call me,
I will give you even more.
If you ask me to pick flowers,
I will gather honey too.
If you call me to gather honey,
I will pick flowers too.
Did desire catch fire?
Did this longing catch fire?
Male: Did my mustache prickle you?
Did this mustache prickle you?
Oh statue of wax,
shall I melt you and see?
Oh youthful pride,
shall I drink you in and see?
Oh iron prison,
shall I tie you down tight?
Oh rough and stubborn man,
shall I flex my strength to you?
On your milky face, with kisses,
shall I apply a soothing touch?
Touching you all over,
shall I make you blossom?
Shall I hold your fingers
and tie them up for a while?
All your desires together,
shall I lock them away?
Shall I make you yearn?
Shall I make you yearn for me?
Female: Shall I lull you to sleep?
Shall I put you to sleep?
O hibiscus flower,
did you turn into a woman?
Did two purple blossoms become your eyes?
Shall I call you a water lily, or a jasmine?
Shall I call you a wild jasmine, or a child of flowers?
In every glance...
shall I say there is love?
In every dream... shall I say there is desire?
Shall I say you are mine, or that I am yours?
Shall I say you are mine, or that I am yours?
Shall I call it a mustache, or something that crosses the line?
Shall I call you a rock,
or a blanket against the cold? Aha...
