Girl, I bought a long strand of flowers for you!
I'll tuck it into your hair, just smell the fragrance!
Smelling so sweet and feeling so intoxicating,
When I pull you close and embrace you, it feels so sweet!
Girl, for both you and me, it is pure joy and celebration!
Girl, I bought a long strand of flowers for you!
I'll tuck it into your hair, just smell the fragrance!
Smelling so sweet and feeling so intoxicating,
When I pull you close and embrace you, it feels so sweet!
Girl, for both you and me, it is pure joy and celebration!
Oh dear, don't ask me to spread the edge of my saree like a bed!
Oh sweetheart, don't get so restless in the middle of the afternoon!
Oh dear, don't ask me to spread the edge of my saree like a bed!
Oh sweetheart, don't get so restless in the middle of the afternoon!
Such naughtiness will not do right now, mister!
That kind of yoga posture is out of the question right now!
Why are you so captivated, and why am I feeling so dizzy?
Ah, bringing flowers makes your desire obvious, mister!
Once you pin them in my hair, the intoxication rises!
Smelling so sweet and feeling so intoxicating,
When you pull me close and embrace me, it feels so sweet!
Girl, for both you and me, it is pure joy and celebration!
My precious girl, don't play hard to get when I come wooing you!
My darling, don't take it wrong if I make your lips turn red!
Ah-da-da-da!
My precious girl, don't play hard to get when I come wooing you!
My darling, don't take it wrong if I make your lips turn red!
That college life is just so boring,
While these teenage years are full of thrill!
Come, let us study the history of love and clear the test!
Girl, I bought a long strand of flowers for you!
I'll tuck it into your hair, just smell the fragrance!
Oh my king, the command of your sceptre will not work here!
My princess, don't slay me with your lovely, flower-like eyes!
In these games of love, aren't you Lord Krishna himself?
Hahaha…
And to play these games of romance, aren't you my Radha?
The moment I yield an inch, why are you so eager to rush ahead?
Girl, I bought a long strand of flowers for you!
I'll tuck it into your hair, just smell the fragrance!
Smelling so sweet and feeling so intoxicating,
When I pull you close and embrace you, it feels so sweet!
Girl, for both you and me, it is pure joy and celebration!
