Oh girl, oh girl, I can't bear it anymore!
Why still hesitate? Just come to me!
A heart soft like a silk-cotton flower, an age that longs and aches...
For the heat to rise all the way to the heart,
brush against me a little closer!
Oh girl, oh girl, I can't bear it anymore!
Male: Why still hesitate? Just come to me!
Female: A heart soft like a silk-cotton flower, an age that longs and aches...
Male: For the heat to rise all the way to the heart,
brush against me a little closer!
Oh girl, oh girl, I can't bear it anymore!
Male: Why still hesitate? Just come to me!
Inside your eyes...
Female: Aaha...
Male: I set a trap,
a net of love...
Female: Ooho...
Male: I have woven it!
When we are alone together,
my restless longing must be quenched.
When we are alone together,
my restless longing must be quenched.
In the courtyard... mmm...
I placed jasmine flowers,
yet I kept pushing back the day you kiss me.
A little shyness holds me back,
you must be patient for a while.
A little shyness holds me back,
you must be patient for a while...
Hey, fully grown girl, come on, girl!
I am gasping for breath!
Female: Hey, why are you panting like this...
Time is slipping away before it even gets dark!
Oh girl, oh girl,
Female: Yes?
Male: I can't bear it!
Female: Aah...
Male: What are you waiting for?
Female: Hey...
Male: Just come to me!
Female: Mmm...
A heart soft like a silk-cotton flower, an age that longs and aches...
Male: For the heat to rise all the way to the heart,
brush against me a little closer!
Oh girl, oh girl, I can't bear it anymore!
Male: Why still hesitate? Just come to me!
Decked with flowers, ah, wearing a bindi,
standing like a deity in prayer, oh,
I will hold you close, and you must pour your love out to me!
I will hold you close, and you must pour your love out to me!
If this innocent girl feels shy,
there is nothing else to do but let it happen!
What words can I say? I want to savor this slowly!
Hey, what words can I say? I want to savor this slowly!
Oh girl, I have no patience left,
the heat has risen all through my body!
Female: Come, there is no stopping you from embracing me,
my thirst has crossed all limits!
Oh girl, oh girl,
Female: Yes?
Male: I can't bear it!
Female: Aah...
Male: What are you waiting for?
Female: Hey...
Male: Just come to me!
Female: Mmm...
A heart soft like a silk-cotton flower, an age that longs and aches...
Male: For the heat to rise all the way to the heart,
brush against me a little closer!
Oh girl, oh girl, I can't bear it anymore!
Male: Why still hesitate? Just come to me!
