Why does a tiny little sparrow
ever need a nest?
When to touch and make its own,
there is the whole wide sky!
Speaking of these sweet bonds,
my heart sings every single day.
Again and again, out of nowhere,
waves keep crashing against my chest.
Just by looking at your face I figured out,
you are a terribly stubborn hound, groom!
Male: My loyalty is just like a dog's,
except I just don't have a tail, buddy!
Aaa... aa... aaaa... aaaa...
There is a plant that shies away
the very moment it is touched.
Shall I tell you what vine it is
that blooms the moment it is touched?
Shall I tell you what vine that is?
Making even the lightning feel shy,
it walks upon the earth—
shall I say it is the slender waist
of a young girl?
Shall I call her waist that vine?
Just like flint stones struck together,
a fire has caught ablaze.
Inside my chest, my heartbeat has doubled!
Am I a tender green banana tree,
and are you the drizzling rain
that showers kisses and embraces me?
Why does a tiny little sparrow
ever need a nest?
Speaking of these sweet bonds,
my heart sings every single day.
Again and again, out of nowhere,
waves keep crashing against my chest.
Seeing your golden nature,
I caught you using a piece of gold, groom!
Male: I can extract ghee from plain water,
but I won't tell you that secret trick, buddy!
Aaa... aa... aaaa... aaaa...
A colorful moon, a round full moon,
shines up in the sky.
Shall I tell you what moon
the whole world is searching for?
Shall I tell you what it is?
The peaceful moon you gave me
is found right in your lap—
shall I come whisper in your ear
that it is true peace of mind?
Shall I come whisper it in your ear?
My heart here keeps beating,
chanting your name over and over.
A silent heat burns deep inside me.
Like a blanket over a dew-kissed flower garden,
a cloud of a sari covers me.
Why does a tiny little sparrow
ever need a nest?
Speaking of these sweet bonds,
my heart sings every single day.
Again and again, out of nowhere,
waves keep crashing against my chest.
Why does a tiny little sparrow
ever need a nest?
When to touch and make its own,
there is the whole wide sky!
Speaking of these sweet bonds,
my heart sings every single day.
Again and again, out of nowhere,
waves keep crashing against my chest.
Aaa... aa... aaaa... aaaa...
