[English]

Your always-craved mouth

Your unforgettable hands

Your eyes that laugh and weep

In the night of the two of us

Your mind in a wild rush

Your body's slow surrender

Your soul of living blood

In the night of the two of us

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

I search for the unforgettable touch of your hands

I search for the laughing‑cry of your eyes

I search

Your mind in a wild rush

Your body's slow surrender

The night of the two of us

Your always-craved mouth

Your unforgettable hands

Your eyes that laugh and weep

In the night of the two of us

Your mind in a wild rush

Your body's slow surrender

Your soul of living blood

In the night of the two of us

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

I search for the unforgettable touch of your hands

I search for the laughing‑cry of your eyes

I search

Your mind in a wild rush

Your body's slow surrender

The night of the two of us

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

I search for the unforgettable touch of your hands

I search for the laughing‑cry of your eyes

I search

Your mind in a wild rush

Your body's slow surrender

The night of the two of us
