Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
Handsome... handsome... handsome...
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
Look at the longing state I am in,
and treat me right, handsome!
Look at my honey-sweet face,
and come close to me, handsome...
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
This joyful love,
I am beginning it now, my girl!
And to make that beginning,
you are the one who stepped right up!
When our hands graze and touch,
what sweet pleasures will bloom?
Tell me a little, my girl!
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
It is just you and me now,
are you coming to face me head-on?
Among all the girls you have ever seen,
is there anyone who is a match like me?
In this endless passion,
hold me and shower me with love,
and then tell me what you feel!
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
...
Rambha and Urvashi,
and Menaka—I am a man who has seen them all!
In the quiet of the night, history
and music, I have heard it all... ah... ah... ah...
Ga Ma Pa, Ga Ma Dha Pa, Ma Ga Ga Sa Dha
Sa Ga Ga, Sa Ga Ga, Sa Ga Ga
I am a man who has heard history and music!
If I touch you, you will tremble and won't be able to bear it, girl!
So call me your king!
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
Look at this young girl's beauty,
smile at me, handsome, with a little charm,
and open up your heart, handsome!
Hey hey hey hey...
