The white moon comes down to earth to nourish it with milky light,
And the gentle breeze comes to praise us today.
The white moon comes down to earth to nourish it with milky light,
And the gentle breeze comes to praise us today.
Tiny little desires come wagging their tails playfully,
What is this joyful dance inside my heart today?
In this moment of kissing,
there is a quiet struggle, fearing we might make a sound!
Male: In this moment of kissing,
there is a quiet struggle, fearing we might make a sound!
The white moon comes down to earth to nourish it with milky light,
And the gentle breeze comes to praise us today.

What is this joyful dance inside my heart today?
On these shoulders... hey hey, on these shoulders,
Oh sweet mango falling upon them, cross all boundaries!

Young morning sun, awaken my desires!

And an uncontrollable passion overflows all boundaries today!
The white moon comes down to earth to nourish it with milky light,
And the gentle breeze comes to praise us today.

What is this joyful dance inside my heart today?
Oh magical one... my enchanter,
I rested my hands upon your chest.

As we play together, I will bloom like a flower!

And when the dawn arrives, I will search for my clothes!
The white moon comes down to earth to nourish it with milky light,
And the gentle breeze comes to praise us today.
