With a nervous flutter,
Every day, my heart skips a beat,
My heart goes lub-dub,
Beating fast inside me!
Spinning around and around,
Oh, screaming in sweet panic,
My brain is popping and crackling,
It feels like it is exploding!
Right on top of my head,
Something strange is happening!
It's nothing bad, there's no harm in it,
It's just that she confessed her love!
With a nervous flutter,
Every day, my heart skips a beat,
My heart goes lub-dub,
Beating fast inside me!
Hoy hoy hoy hoy... haha (x4)
Deep inside, I built
A temple for my golden girl!
In the whole town,
No one comes close to her beauty!
That she would say yes to me,
I swear, I never believed it!
For someone as shy as me,
This happiness is too much to bear!
If someone had to bend the impossible,
I even bent the rainbow!
Even when she smiles,
I ask her to glare and admire her!
Thinking of me, she placed a bindi on her forehead,
And for the future life I'm to live,
She drew a protective circle...
She stitched me up tight
With the thread called love!
Where on earth did she come from,
This angel of mine?
Without casting any magic or spells,
She completely captivated me, brother!
Turning me into Manmathan (god of love),
She transformed me in a shock of joy!
Even with something impossible like sand,
I spun it into a strong rope!
And as for floating,
I am floating in paradise!
Tell me what you want, my girl, should I give myself to you?
Shall I scoop myself up and forever
Place myself right in your eyes?
With a nervous flutter,
Oh my!
With a startled thumping,
Hey, going lub-dub,
My heart is beating and pounding!
Oh my, oh my!
My brain...
It is bursting, bursting, exploding inside!
Right on top of my head,
Something strange is happening to me!
It's nothing bad, there's no harm in it,
It's just that she confessed her love!
With a nervous flutter,
Every single day,
My heart skips a beat,
My heart goes lub-dub,
Beating fast inside me!
Spinning around and around,
Oh, screaming in sweet panic,
My brain goes pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,
Exploding, exploding, exploding inside me!
Hoy hoy hoy hoy... haha (x4)
