Come to me, my wife!
You are the one, aren't you?
I have come to cherish you,
and it is me, isn't it?
It's me— Male: Hey!
Female: Ah, because of you, I've blossomed into a woman!
Male: Haha!
Female: It's me— Male: Hey!
Female: Ah, because of you, I've blossomed into a woman!
My gentle deer,
I am your rightful man!
My gentle deer,
I am your rightful man!
Female: If you are not here with me,
everything is in vain.
Come to me, my wife!
You are the one!
Dusk is falling now,
the soil of desire has turned moist,
and our breath is growing warm.
Male: The sapling planted in wet soil
has blossomed and grown heavy,
and so many feelings are stirring within!
Two hands must unite,
Male: here is the rooster and here is the hen!

here is the rooster and here is the hen!
What else is left? A sweet intoxication is rising!
Like a flower...
fully blossomed, this girl is longing and searching!
Female: Thannanaanna naananna
Naananna naananna
Come to me, my wife!
You are the one, hey!
A million desires saved up deep within,
drink them like milk and honey blended together!
It will flow like a rushing river!
With all the unspent feelings inside,
there is no one here to question us,
and my passion will only grow and grow!
Our stars are aligned so well now,
Female: play a sweet melody now, play a tune!
Male: Our stars are aligned so well now,
play a sweet melody now, play a tune!
Touch me with desire and talk to me,
and somehow...
a paradise appears right before my eyes!
Male: Thannanaanna naananna
Naananna naananna
Come to me...
