Chorus: Kumbare Kumbare, come on
Hey Anarkali, listen to me a little
I am your Salim, look at me!
My heart is bouncing like a ball
Every day it churns with longing
Don't leave without saying "I love you"...
Don't you remember our past life?
Is there no space inside your heart?
Girl, am I not handsome?
Haven't I appeared in your dreams?
Hey Anarkali...
Hey Anarkali, listen to me a little
I am your Salim, look at me!
My heart is bouncing like a ball
Every day it churns with longing
Don't leave without saying "I love you"...
Kumbara.. hey hey hey yeah
Kumbara.. hey hey hey yeah
Chorus: {Kumbara..
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah} (2)
You look sweet like cotton candy
Yet at a mere touch, you explode like a firecracker!
Chorus: What kind of world is it without love?
Life is just wasted without a kiss!
Look into my eyes and you will see yourself
Sitting inside my heart, you pluck flowers
What is wrong with coming close, what is wrong with resting on your lap?
What is wrong with cheering for our love?
{Kumbara..
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah} (4)
Hey Anarkali, listen to me a little
I am your Salim, look at me!
My heart is bouncing like a ball
Every day it churns with longing
Don't leave without saying "I love you"...
Hey Anarkali... hoy...
In a town without rain,
why do you need an umbrella?
In a town without women, why live at all?
Chorus: What kind of world is it without love?
Life is just wasted without a kiss!
Understand my golden heart...
Learn to see your reflection in it...
This parrot will not escape without getting caught in my hands;
the aim I set never misses the target!
{Kumbara..
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah} (4)
Hey Anarkali, listen to me a little
I am your Salim, look at me!
My heart is bouncing like a ball
Every day it churns with longing
Don't leave without saying "I love you"...
Don't you remember our past life?
Is there no space inside your heart?
Girl, am I not handsome?
Haven't I appeared in your dreams?
Hey Anarkali... hey hey
{Kumbara..
Hey hey hey hey hey yeah} (8)
