[English]

My temperature rising, I'm hot with a fever

Do you know what's good for you?

I'm in heaven, reclining on sweat-dripping cedar

Do you know it's good for me too?

I want the boys who seek the joy

In every corner of the spa

I wanna take off in the night

And land in someone else's arms

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

Pour heat on the stones

People coming and going

Need a red-hot physical touch

Baby, heightens my senses

Not here to pretend

I need a wood-chopping, God-given love, oh

I want the boys who seek the joy

In every corner of the spa

I wanna take off in the night

And land in someone else's arms

I wanna whisper something naughty

Take my clothes off in the party

Turn that timer off, you animal

This room is getting hot

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

If you wanna (if you wanna), last longer (last longer)

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna

Climb aboard my chariot to the sun

Climb aboard my chariot to the sun

If you wanna (climb aboard) last longer

I don't need faster (my chariot), I need stronger

Take it to the sauna (to the sun)

If you wanna (climb aboard) last longer

I don't need faster (my chariot), I need stronger

Take it to the sauna (to the sun, to the sun)

If you wanna last longer

I don't need faster, I need stronger

Take it to the sauna
