...
As the white moon looks through the window,
As soft music plays in the late night,
As desire blooms in both eyes,
I will embrace you.
A woman's mind shies away in the light,
It must shatter even outer space,
To hear the tremors in pitch darkness,
I will come when you embrace me.
Upon temple sculptures,
All the poses seen,
When they sustain wounds,
Ah, that becomes an art form.
In the life of early humans,
Where were clothes anyway?
Like Adam and Eve,
Our being like this is also natural.
As the white moon looks through the window,
As soft music plays in the late night,
As desire blooms in both eyes,
I will embrace you.
A woman's mind shies away in the light,
It must shatter even outer space,
To hear the tremors in pitch darkness,
I will come when you embrace me.
Why hesitate to begin?
And why the longing to continue afterward?
Why this thirst?
Is it to drink you alive?
Why is there dizziness in the eyes?
Is this only until dawn breaks?
When daytime arrives,
Are you really so very good?
Yeah... Is desire a...
Is it a whale?
Is it to swallow up bodies too?
Will I survive this?
Yeah... no...
Only for the clock's hands,
There are no reins at all.
Desire never looks at the clock.
Yeah... no...
Oho... speaking after watching the time,
There is no cloud anywhere.
The realm that lives beyond time,
Is the bedroom, my girl.
...
A slender waist is a literary book,
I am the one who reads it often.
The food that never tires,
What is that food but the lips...
Hey... like a woodpecker,
You gave wounds upon my body.
Even pain is pleasure, isn't it?
I am the one who quivers and dwells in it...
Hey... a mountain path,
I saw in your waist,
A speed bump I saw in your chest,
I saw eyes that cause accidents, come on,
Yeah hae... if it's swimming,
One must practice,
No training is needed to pluck flowers,
A woman's body is a flowering plant, come on,
Oh... without crumpling the saree,
I too will hold you tight.
Forgetting the town and forgetting our names,
Come, let us leave the earth.
As the white moon looks through the window,
As soft music plays in the late night,
As desire blooms in both eyes,
I will embrace you.
A woman's mind shies away in the light,
It must shatter even outer space,
To hear the tremors in pitch darkness,
I will come when you embrace me.
