Hey, you touch the hollow of my chest and pass by,
like a rolling wave, oh wave,
stealing my gaze and running away... oh, oh!
Hey, you trap in a cage
this peacock, this peacock,
and keep me on edge as you stand watching.
Hey, you arrived like a Mandhara flower,
you stood like a Mandhara blossom,
showering moonlight from your eyes.
Like a flower blooming in the red soil,
for me to live my life with you...
Hey! You touch the hollow of my chest and pass by,
like a rolling wave, oh wave,
stealing my gaze and running away...
Ah... ah... ahhh... ah... ah... ahhh...
Hey girl, every single day,
you whistle like a train and strut by like a peacock.
Don't play deceitful games with me,
don't even tell me a lie.
This girl cannot bear it,
don't just cover it up with flowers.
You have bitten into me, girl,
and devoured me completely, my dear!
Hey, you touch the hollow of my chest and pass by,
like a rolling wave, oh wave,
stealing my gaze and running away...
Like a flower blooming in the red soil,
for me to live my life with you...
You trap in a cage
this peacock, this peacock,
and keep me on edge as you stand watching...
Hey girl, along your back,
shall I flow like a river?
Shall I trace flowers with my fingertips?
If you go to play a game of cards,
I will come only as your Queen.
Even if we are partners in crime,
would I ever let you off without driving you crazy?
After all, aren't I the screw back
to your earring, my dear?
Oh oh ohhh...
You trap in a cage
this peacock, this peacock,
and keep me on edge as you stand watching.
Oh oh... hoo ooo
Hey, you arrived like a Mandhara flower,
you stood like a Mandhara blossom,
showering moonlight from your eyes.
Like a flower blooming in the red soil,
for me to live my life with you...
You trap in a cage
this peacock, this peacock,
and keep me on edge as you stand watching... ah ah..
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... ahhh...
