Did the gentle breeze come softly
and touch you gently?
Claiming you as its own,
did it plant a kiss?
Is this a dream?
Female: Ooh...
Male: Or is it real?
Female: Ooh...
Is it a new bond of love?
Male: Ooh...
Female: Shall sweet bliss come?
Hahaha...
Did the gentle breeze come softly
and touch you gently?
Claiming you as its own,
did it plant a kiss?
Did the gentle breeze come softly
and touch you gently?
Claiming you as its own,
did it plant a kiss?
A budding flower
is filled with longing today;
did the bee that came close
hum softly to it?
The bee from the garden
shares that same longing;
like the warm golden sunshine,
did it scorch you gently with love?
In this storm of youth...
my dress slips away... ah ah...
Male: In this falling mist...
the heart softens...
Am I under her spell?
Male: Ooh...
Female: Is it sweet fruit nectar?
Male: Aah...
An inexplicable,
Female: Ooh...
Male: thrilling joy? Mmm...
Female: Hahaha...
Did the gentle breeze come softly
and touch you gently?
Claiming you as its own,

Ah ah aahh ah...
Female: Aahh ah...
Aahh aa...
A tiny little ant,
seeing the drizzling rain,
around your slender coral waist,
did it circle about?
Seeing your rosy lips,
what mischief did it make?
Losing all control,
did your silky body blush with shyness?
In this eager embrace...
was the feast so sweet?
Female: In this playful drizzle...
did the little ant get soaked?
Is it a sweet slice of fruit?
Female: Ooh...
Male: A brand new taste?
Female: Aah...
Flowing from the lips,
Male: Ooh...
Female: is it a pouring rain? Mmm...
Male: Hahahaha...
Did the gentle breeze come softly
and touch you gently?
Claiming you as its own,
did it plant a kiss?
