Let me take you in my arms And raise you to the sky, So you can play with the stars, So I can light stars in your eyes That will reflect in mine.

Let me hang the rainbow From your delicate shoulders, Put my hand around your waist; Let me undo the buttons Of your flower-patterned shirt.

Fired with wishes and yearnings To bend over your soft chest With the sultry and swelter of my love, To put a bond of kiss On your sweet and alluring lips.

To tickle you with warmth and hotness, To make you breathless, panting, To fire your desires With the flames of real love, With the flames of real love.
