Come, the song sung by youth has turned to honey!
Now that you've arrived, I have yielded to our intimacy!
Come, the song sung by youth has turned to honey!
Now that you've arrived, I have yielded to our intimacy!
Come floating on waves of desire,
Come flying, let us live our lives!
Why this gaze? What is it that you desire?
Let us love each other, yayayaya!
Come, the song sung by youth has turned to honey!
Now that you've arrived, I have yielded to our intimacy!
Come floating on waves of desire,
Come flying, let us live our lives!
Hahahaha
Thinking that this is the perfect place,
my yearning heart realizes
there is no better partner than you,
and goes seeking after you.
Finding both sculpture and poetry
within me,
if you pull me close and hold me tight,
there is sweet pleasure to enjoy!
Why this gaze? What is it that you desire?
Let us love each other, yayayaya!
Come, the song sung by youth has turned to honey!
Now that you've arrived, I have yielded to our intimacy!
Come floating on waves of desire,
Come flying, let us live our lives!
Hahahaha
In this bedroom shining like a treasure of pearls,
lie beside me and caress me tenderly!
With a bright silvery face and glowing lightning charm,
here is your sweet young girl.
Swaying gently like a swing,
come softly and swing along!
As joyful sounds ring out,
sing from deep within your heart!
Why this gaze? What is it that you desire?
Let us love each other, yayayaya!
Come, the song sung by youth has turned to honey!
Now that you've arrived, I have yielded to our intimacy!
Come floating on waves of desire,
Come flying, let us live our lives!
Hahahaha
