Don't pinch my heart,
Don't pinch it and walk away!
Kiss the wound, boy!
By the end of a kiss,
You will devour me whole!
I can't handle it, oh my!
Don't pinch my heart,
Don't pinch it and walk away!
Kiss the wound, boy!
Chorus: Kiss the wound, boy!
By the end of a kiss,
You will devour me whole!
I can't handle it, oh my!
Chorus: Oh my, oh my!
Hey, you in the double shirt!
Can't our two bodies embrace?
For just a few more days,
Can't I stay here with my virtue intact?
Can't you give me a hundred kisses,
And end the loneliness of the bed?
Don't pinch my heart,
Don't pinch it and walk away!
Kiss the wound, boy!
By the end of a kiss,
You will devour me whole!
I can't handle it, oh my!
I stole your name,
And made it my own!
Chorus: She stole it!
Female: I got it tattooed,
Right inside my tongue!
Chorus: She got it tattooed!
Female: Without telling anyone,
And without any censorship,
I've come to teach you great love!
Why do we need lessons,
My dear, for love?
Chorus: Na na na na na na
Male: The music of love is understood,
Without ever being taught.
Chorus: Na na na na na na
When you nuzzle my nose,
And kiss me, my heart gets
As tense as the Pakistan border!
Chorus: Su-ro-re!
Male: You applied medicine to the wound
That was on my hand,
Yet in places hidden from sight,
You gave me new wounds!
To heal the wounds you made,
What will you do now?
Female: My darling, I will apply the medicine
Known as a kiss!
Bathe in kisses,
And dry yourself with me!
Male: You creeping vine wrapped around me daily,
Can't you step aside for a little while?
Chorus: Can't you step aside?
A man has six liters of blood!
Chorus: Six liters of blood!
Female: A woman has five and a half liters of blood!
Chorus: Five and a half liters of blood!
Female: Even if there is less blood,
The passion never lessens!
What does it mean if you still stand apart?
Chorus: What's the matter, ya?
When will your stubbornness end?
Chorus: Stubbornness, stubbornness, oh stubbornness!
Male: You have a scheme to plunder my chastity!
Chorus: A scheme, a scheme, what a scheme!
Male: Only when my heart agrees,
And after my ambitions are won,
Will love come knocking on my door!
Chorus: So sad!
My love, I enjoy the pleasure
Of pressing my face against yours.
Darling, I even love the skin
Caught beneath your fingernails!
Even so, duties will place a barrier
On all these dreams.
Female: Where will you go?
The sound of my kisses will shatter your resolve!
Don't pinch my heart,
Don't pinch it and walk away!
Kiss the wound, boy!
Chorus: Oh my, oh my!
Hey, you in the double shirt!
Can't our two bodies embrace?
For just a few more days,
Can't I stay here with my virtue intact?
Can't you give me a hundred kisses,
And end the loneliness of the bed?
