The young girl is feeling shy
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Lightning flashes inside her eyes
Just like that, oh dear!
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of me, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
The midnight wind blew
The chrysanthemum flower blossomed
Female: A joyful fragrance fills the air
The heart grows heavy with desire
Male: Youth reigns supreme, this is a fine moment
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of you, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
From atop the banyan leaf
Like the dancing gentle breeze
Gathering nectar from the waist as thin as thread
Shall I tell a hundred stories?
From atop the banyan leaf
Like the dancing gentle breeze
Gathering nectar from the waist as thin as thread
Shall I tell a hundred stories?
Fallen into the water, wings soaked
Beautiful songbird!
Seeking fragrance in the pomegranate flower
Golden young sunshine, my Deva... come!
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of me, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
The midnight wind blew
The chrysanthemum flower blossomed
Male: A joyful fragrance fills the air
The heart grows heavy with desire
Female: Youth reigns supreme, this is a fine moment
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of you, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
………………
The thirsty lotus flower
The whole body burns with heat
Both eyes that beat in rhythm
Are sending telegraph signals
The thirsty lotus flower
The whole body burns with heat
Both eyes that beat in rhythm
Are sending telegraph signals
Consent for the delicate sandal-jasmine
Shall I gather it in my hands? ...aa...
In the maiden's ear, as Manmatha
Shall I whisper a chant, my Devi... aa...aa...
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of you, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
The midnight wind blew
The chrysanthemum flower blossomed
Female: A joyful fragrance fills the air
The heart grows heavy with desire
Male: Youth reigns supreme, this is a fine moment
The young girl is feeling shy
Oh dear, oh mother!
Thinking of me, her cheeks turn red
Just like that, oh dear!
