Ooho... Hoo... Ohhhh... Oh...
Hey hey hey yo... Ahhh...
Wrong or wrong,
slip and slip away,
right or wrong,
close your eyes and go for it!
Go on and hunt,
my body
is a hunting forest!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
A mattress of jasmine flowers,
toss it over me!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho...
Wrong or wrong,
slip and slip away,
right or wrong,
close your eyes and go for it!
Since the day I laid eyes on you,
I haven't slept at all.
My pillow knows it well!
The storehouse of my body,
you set ablaze like dry grass.
Touch and see, you'll understand!
I will wear you like my clothes,
I will smuggle you inside me,
I will hide you until dawn,
and drive you crazy!
You're the ant that bit into my life,
you're the lizard gripping me tight,
you're the mark etched on my heart!
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na
Wrong or wrong,
slip and slip away,
right or wrong,
close your eyes and go for it!
Go on and hunt,
my heart
is a hunting forest!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
Your youthful passion,
toss it all over me!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho...
Ten million desires rise,
to unite with you,
every cell in my soul trembles!
Beyond seven seas and mountains,
kept hidden away,
the doors to my purity will open!
You are the feast that devours me,
you are the dream that dazzles my eyes,
you are a wild thrill every day,
every single day!
Pricked by your mustache, I quiver,
holding onto burning desire,
I surrender before you,
I give in, I give in!
Let me go!
Wrong or wrong,
slip and slip away,
right or wrong,
close your eyes and go for it!
Go on and hunt,
my body
is a hunting forest!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
A mattress of jasmine flowers,
toss it over me!
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho
Oh ho ho ho...
Wrong or wrong,
slip and slip away,
right or wrong,
close your eyes and go for it!
Ooh... Hoo... Ohhhh
Ooho... Hoo... Ohhhh... Oh...
Hey hey hey yo... Ahhh...
