I like your smile
You have a beautiful style
I like your eyes
You look very nice
Are your tiny, tender
red lips precious rubies?
With your feet gracefully crossing each other,
are you a living portrait walking in?
Oh dove resting in my lap,
oh moon swimming in my heart,
come to me, my flower!
Is your little
smile a magical spell?
Am I just a machine
that keeps revolving around you?
The pure gold that once stood at a distance,
how has it come so close to me?
Coming close to embrace me,
how did it agree so willingly?
Will it ever leave me from now on,
this sweet memory of you?
I have painted right upon my eyes
a portrait of you!
As we touch, it keeps going on—
an endless love story!
It can bring so much joy.
As warm fingertips
touch gently and spark desire,
we can taste sweet delights.
Oh dove resting in my lap,
oh moon swimming in my heart,
come to me, my flower!
Is your little
smile a magical spell?
Am I just a machine
that keeps revolving around you?
Bring it and place on my shoulders,
that woven wedding garland.
Only when a garland is placed,
does the bed have any work to do!
I will come one day
to place a wedding garland on you.
The next day brings the good fortune
to embrace your lovely body.
On that very first night,
the heart will swoon with joy!
As experience grows, playful romance
will happen every day!
Oh beauty strolling in my two eyes,
oh dream of love coming to life,
come to me, my beloved!
I like your smile
(Whistling)
Male: You have a beautiful style...
Wow!
I like your eyes
You look very nice
Is your little
smile a magical spell?
Am I just a machine
that keeps revolving around you?
Oh dove resting in my lap,
oh moon swimming in my heart,
come to me, my flower!
Is your little
smile a magical spell?
With your feet gracefully crossing each other,
are you a living portrait walking in?
