Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
Look at this girl like a delicate flower, my love!
Look at her and ask for whatever you desire, yes!
You must listen to what an experienced woman says!
Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
Look at the milk and fruits,
Who will drink until every drop of sweetness is savored?
Ah, the warm shoulders that hold you in an embrace,
Look, today is the day they are finally yours!
Look at the milk and fruits,
Who will drink until every drop of sweetness is savored?
Ah, the warm shoulders that hold you in an embrace,
Look, today is the day they are finally yours!
Serve your love whole-heartedly, ah, truly become one!
Serve your love whole-heartedly, ah, truly become one!
As the bedchamber trembles here for the first time,
To hang a cradle, as the very first seed is sown,
Life joining life will nurture a new life... oh...
Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
Look at the beauty that time brings along,
What does it matter that all four seasons have passed?
Every day will feel like pure bliss,
What a delightful state, tasting so many pleasures!
Look at the beauty that time brings along,
What does it matter that all four seasons have passed?
Every day will feel like pure bliss,
What a delightful state, tasting so many pleasures!
Let the fresh spring flow across the land,
From now on, let the land take on a hundred colors!
Let the fresh spring flow across the land,
From now on, let the land take on a hundred colors!
Every day brings a brand new experience,
A fresh kind of joy will fill the heart,
As it grows and grows, the wonder will go on...
Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
Look at this girl like a delicate flower, my love!
Look at her and ask for whatever you desire, yes!
You must listen to what an experienced woman says!
Once the lamp is lit, every night is a feast!
When the morning star rises, cheeks will be swollen with love!
