Thinking of that sweet experience, the lovely sister-in-law
smiled to herself again and again.
Thinking of that sweet experience, the lovely sister-in-law
smiled to herself again and again.
Their secret intimacy has come out in the open,
and she grew flustered thinking about it...
Waa... waa... waa... waa...
Thinking of that sweet experience, the lovely sister-in-law
smiled to herself again and again.
Their secret intimacy has come out in the open,
and she grew flustered thinking about it...
Waa... waa... waa... waa...
Send a telegram to the whole town,
and send word to the doctor too!
Oh gentle girl laughing with an open heart,
from now on, your belly will grow like the waxing moon!
The two of them were not even on speaking terms,
and there was not a sound between them till now!
Sister-in-law fastened the door latch tight,
and to celebrate that, a baby is on the way!
Waa... waa... waa... waa...
Thinking of that sweet experience, the lovely sister-in-law
smiled to herself again and again.
Their secret intimacy has come out in the open,
and she grew flustered thinking about it...
Even sour mangoes will taste sweet to her,
and even kitchen ash will taste delicious!
Who is the reason for this morning sickness?
Just look at the husband blinking cluelessly!
We need to learn from their experience too,
and you must cooperate with me for that!
We need to learn from their experience too,
and you must cooperate with me for that!
Did I ever say no to you? Oh please,
now you have come to tease and embarrass me!
Waa... waa... waa... waa...
Thinking of that sweet experience, the lovely sister-in-law
smiled to herself again and again.
Their secret intimacy has come out in the open,
and she grew flustered thinking about it...
