Aren't you a flower dripping honey?
Aren't you the moon swimming across the sky?
Come, my beauty! Come, my sweet nectar!
Come close to me, come, come!
Isn't this the bliss you gave me?
Isn't this the dream I had seen?
Come, my life! Come share your love with me!
Give me ten million kisses... ah...
Come running to me like a sweet ripe fruit,
bring your sweetness and join me!
Like an unbloomed jasmine opening into flower,
come meet me lip to lip...
Aren't you a flower dripping honey?
Aren't you the moon swimming across the sky?
Come, my beauty! Come, my sweet nectar!
Come close to me, come, come!
Shall I spread a bed of flowers?
Shall I seek the joys of youthful love?
The queen you see is a honeybee flowing with sweetness,
come blend with me as body and soul!
Isn't this the bliss you gave me?
Isn't this the dream I had seen?
Come, my life! Come share your love with me!
Give me ten million kisses... ah...
...
Come hold me close, waist to waist,
what is holding us back now? Come!
Female: The bliss we share is an everlasting heaven,
I am nothing without you, come!
Aren't you a flower dripping honey?
Aren't you the moon swimming across the sky?
Come, my beauty! Come, my sweet nectar!
Come close to me, come, come!
