Come, my love
A classical verse called love
I have recited it, come, my king
Gathering sweet honey like a red flower
I gave it, come, come to taste the honey
What can I say? How do I say it?
Your magic spell is not just one
To say not just today, but forever
Pleasure alone is your trick
Come, my love
A classical verse called love
I have recited it, come, my king
Gathering sweet honey like a red flower
I gave it, come, come to taste the honey
……………………………………………….
The beginning and the end
Without leaving any remainder
Scoop it all up and take it with you
What the need really is
And what it truly means
The maiden conveyed with her eyes
When ten fingers touch
The maiden with a silken body languishes
To quench the budding desire
A message of love was sent
What more delay is there
Here right now
When will youth unite?
Male: The news about you
Only yesterday
It was the cold northern wind that told me, dear
Female: The three grand fruits and sugar
Gather as much as there is by my side
What can I say? How do I say it?
Your magic spell is not just one
To say not just today, but forever
Pleasure alone is your trick
Come, my love
A classical verse called love
I have recited it, come, my king
Male: Haa
Female: Gathering sweet honey like a red flower
I gave it, come, come to taste the honey
Hey, what can I say? How do I say it?
Your magic spell is not just one
To say not just today, but forever
Pleasure alone is your trick
Hey, golden coin
You, here I am
Shall I toss and flip you now?
The gates of heaven standing nearby
When shall we peep into them?
Tie and put a garland
Sing a song for the bedroom
Male: Hey
Female: From the crown of the head
All the way to the feet
Clinging close, swing back and forth
Come running like a golden girl
I am the surging ocean, come seek me
Female: The incantation
That Lord Cupid himself
Whispers in the ear, come sing it too
Male: As soon as the chant is recited
Your shyness will be suspended mid-air
Come, my love
A classical verse called love
I have recited it, come, my king
Gathering sweet honey like a red flower
I gave it, come, come to taste the honey
What can I say? How do I say it?
Your magic spell is not just one
To say not just today, but forever
Pleasure alone is your trick
Come, my love
A classical verse called love
I have recited it, come, my king
Gathering sweet honey like a red flower
I gave it, come, come to taste the honey
Male: Hey, what can I say? How do I say it?
Your magic spell is not just one
