Why did he come here?
"Don't speak," he said.
"Go away," I said.
He went deep inside me.
All my sleeping senses,
he is waking up.
Little by little, all my dizzy desires,
he is stirring awake.
Even before a flower opens,
he takes its nectar.
Chorus: Oh ho ho
Female: Even before love is born,
he gives passion.
Why did he come here?
Female: Why did he come here?
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: He went deep inside me.
Female: He went deep inside me.
...
He admires my beauty.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: He tastes my youth.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: Down the curve of my waist,
he rolls like a raindrop.
He rested softly on my shoulder.
He tasted my anger like wine.
Taking the red blush of my eyes,
he brushes it onto my cheeks.
I brewed the night till dawn,
and he made me drink it, oh oh ho!
Even the cruellest pains,
he made me love them.
Why did he come here?
Female: Why did he come here?
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: He went deep inside me.
Female: He went deep inside me.
When I walk in the light,
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: he follows me like a shadow.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: When I put out my lamp,
he spreads over me like darkness.
He entered without permission,
and filled every corner of my room.
"This isn't right,"
Female and Chorus: I said,
Female: but without any
Female and Chorus: limits,
Female: he took me
Female and Chorus: captive.
Giving me wings inside that prison,
he made me fly, oh oh oh ho!
In a place where dream and reality meet,
he made me dwell.
Why did he come here?
Female: Why did he come here?
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Female: "Don't speak," he said.
Chorus: Oh oh ho
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: "Go away," I said.
Female: He went deep inside me.
Female: He went deep inside me.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Despite initially telling her lover not to speak and asking him to leave, she is completely overcome by his presence, which awakens her dormant senses and stirs an intense longing within her. The lyrics beautifully capture the dualities of pleasure and pain, confinement and freedom, as his intoxicating affection turns her resistance into total surrender, creating a surreal sanctuary where dream and reality meet.
