Ah, is this what bliss feels like?
Through the petals of soft flowers,
Is it the sweet joy of falling dew drops?
From now on, every day is a celebration!
Ah, is this what bliss feels like?
Through the petals of soft flowers,
Is it the sweet joy of falling dew drops?
From now on, every day is a celebration!
When eyes meet eyes
And embrace each other,
Playful games of love begin to unfold!
Male: When fingers and fingers
Gently brush against one another,
The bright flames of love blaze up!
Across cheeks soft as a lotus,
Sweet pollen is scattered,
A gentle shower of honeyed rain
Drifts over our love-marks,
Male: On the swing of your dark hair,
Flowers sway and dance!
Ah...
Male: Aahaa...
Female: Is this...
Male: Ohooo...
Female: ...what bliss is?
The flowers'...
Male: ...petals letting dew drops fall,
Is it that sweet joy?
Both: From now on, every day is a celebration!
On your slender, vine-like waist,
Why have two umbrellas opened up,
Why is that, my darling?
Female: When the two of us embrace,
To shield us as the moonlight burns,
For look, it is a full moon night!
Your eyes, like blue water lilies,
Send subtle, loving glances,
The moment I touch you, the red kumkum
Leaves its vibrant color behind!
Female: The sweet strings of the veena
Gently pluck at my heart!
Ah...
Female: Aahaa...
Male: Is this...
Female: Aahaa...
Male: ...what bliss is?
Female: Through the petals of soft flowers,
Is it the sweet joy of falling dew drops?
Both: From now on, every day is a celebration!
