- Where can you be, Sanoe?
- Moistened by the lehua
buds
- Here I am
- Waiting to hear your
voice
-
-
- For the answer only you can
give
- Refreshing with a sweet
perfume
- Appealing softly as a
sweetheart
- Stirring the whole body
-
-
- It's been a while since this
body
- Believed all that was
there
- How is it possible
- To fulfill thoughts of
love?
-
-
- The water lily warns us
- Be careful
- Here comes the carrier of
tales
- The bird who gossips
-
-
- The titled persons have
heard
- Of a gathering in Rome
- Moving now upward
- Like the Princess
Likelike
