Oh my! Chorus: Mmm mmm
Is this really love? Chorus: Aa aa aa aa aa
Oh Rama, what mystery is this?
Inside my heart, I hear a melody
Both my eyes keep time to the beat on their own
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
Aa aa aa aa aa aa
Oh my, is this really love?
Oh Rama, what mystery is this?
Inside my heart, I hear a melody
Both my eyes keep time to the beat on their own
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
Her cheek is a lovely rose
A violet flower smiles in her eyes
Sweet honey jasmine petals fall from her lips
Her saree drape slips aside shyly
Why hold onto this stubborn pride anymore?
The yellow flower blushes when embraced
Like a living picture, she wore a silk saree
An angel's feet have touched the earth
Your ten fingers touched my body
Wherever they touched, red kumkum showered
Every night as we learn the arts of love
Her beauty learns to relish every moment
While holding each other tight by the evening lamp
The morning dawn writes me a letter
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
Oh my, is this really love?
Oh Rama, what mystery is this?
Inside my heart, I hear a melody
Both my eyes keep time to the beat on their own
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
...
The fluttering skirt that dances in the wind
The garment that covers and conceals
You must become both of them for me
The stream to swim and bathe in
The flower garland that embraces the chest
You must become both of them for me
In this lily pond, a fish leaps playfully
Rippling with waves and beating in rhythm
In a jasmine garden, a honeybee flies
It opens the flower and drinks the sweet nectar
The pleasures of love must be poured out freely
They will last until the break of dawn
The moment the embrace breaks and hands part
The heart longs for the next night to arrive
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
Oh my, is this really love?
Oh Rama, what mystery is this?
Inside my heart, I hear a melody
Both my eyes keep time to the beat on their own
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
Aa aa aa aa aa aa
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
Clap, clap your hands for the Kummi dance
Clap your hands, the auspicious time is here
Along with a wedding saree and a garland
Tomorrow it will arrive
