Here's a softball, and some easy points, for you more experienced translators out there. For some reason I can't get the English for this in my head.
For further context, this is a thought of the protagonist after making love with her husband for the first time (I think.)
Any thoughts?

: Sounds nice and simple. Also, if this is a video game, most who create script are not professional writers so they tend to either over emphasize or automatically try to make it fancy using Kanji, so keeping it simple is the best approach.

I guess I agree. My suggestion actually feels a bit masculine and simplistic for the given context. But then, it is a great song!
