By the side of Adyar beach,
Meera is waiting.
Desiring you so much,
I came running in high spirits!
By the side of Adyar beach,
Meera is waiting.
Desiring you so much,
I came running in high spirits!
Meera, come running fast!
Is this Mount Road,
or a worn-out rope?
By the side of Adyar beach,
By the side of Adyar beach,
Meera is waiting.
Desiring you so much,
I came running in high spirits!
Desiring you so much,
I came running in high spirits!
...
Using a plate of pure gold,
I am going to make a thali (wedding necklace) for you.
Taking pearls strung in silver,
I am going to put anklets on your feet.

What is it, my dear? What is it, girl?
Come and stand with gentle grace!
What is it, my dear? What is it, girl?
Come and stand with gentle grace!
With your smile you look like Simran,
and in your walk you are Nagma!
With your chubby cheeks you look like Khushbu,
and you are completely brand new to me!
Meera, come running fast!
Is this Mount Road,
or a worn-out rope?
...
Through the window-cut in your blouse,
the cool beach breeze is blowing.
At Devi Bala theatre,
I bought two tickets.

I bought two tickets.
What we managed to get
were two seats in the corner!
What we managed to get
were two seats in the corner!
The lights went out,
a fight scene played on screen,
and in our night,
the two of us held each other tight!
Meera, come running fast!
Is this Mount Road,
or a worn-out rope?
By the side of Adyar beach,
Meera is waiting.
Desiring you so much,
