Hey hey hey, hug me tight!
Shower some love and stick close to me!
I am your two-story house,
come climb up into me!
Hey, come to me, my sweet Bombay beeda (flavored betel wrap)!
You are my fizzy goli soda (marble soda)!
My mood has shifted,
and the heat is rising in my heart!
Without leaving any leftovers behind,
eat me all up!
Whenever you get the hiccups,
whenever you get them,
drink down my kisses!
Mmm
Female: Keep me close, keep me close,
Male: Mmm
Female: Keep me with you, boy!
Male: Mmm
Female: Stitch me, stitch me into you!
Haa... ah aaaa...
Mmm
Male: Gather me, gather me up,
Female: Mmm
Male: Gather me in your arms, girl!
Female: Mmm
Male: Entwine me, braid me into you!
Oh ho ho ho
...
Mmm mhmm
Oho... ooo... oo
I am the one, boy,
like cool millet porridge,
and you are the spicy salted chili!
You drink me in,
and I'll savor you on the side,
together we can satisfy our hunger!
Hey, I am the nadaswaram pipe,
and you are the mridangam drum!
You blow music into me,
and I will play your rhythm,
we can put on a lively concert!
Oh my lover, look at this Maiden Island,
look how massive it is!
Aren't you my Sinbad the sailor?
Come on, boy, come on, come on!
Hey, to dive for pearls with you,
I'm coming in a paper boat I made!
We can bathe in the waters together,
come on, oh come on, my girl!
Mmm
Female: Keep me close, keep me close,
Male: Mmm
Female: Keep me with you, boy!
Male: Mmm
Female: Stitch me, stitch me into you!
Haa... ah aaaa...
Hey hey hey, hug me tight!
Shower some love and stick close to me!
I am your two-story house,
come climb up into me!
Mmm mmm mmm
Aaa... ah aa... aa...
Seeing the sparkle in your eyes,
a breeze of love blew through my heart!
I've become a kite flying in the wind,
ever since I saw you earlier!
Hey, like a golden duck fresh from the mold,
I stumbled just gazing at you!
Don't tell anyone outside, don't say a word,
keep it safely sheltered inside!
Hey, look where that gold chain on your neck
swings and rests—
can I just stay right there?
Come on, oh come on, my girl!
I can't handle your naughty ways!
I will give you another place instead,
and we can move forward step by step!
My handsome man, oh my love!
Mmm
Female: Keep me close, keep me close,
Male: Mmm
Female: Keep me with you, boy!
Male: Mmm
Female: Stitch me, stitch me into you!
Haa... ah aaaa...
Hey hey hey, hug me tight!
Shower some love and stick close to me!
I am your two-story house,
come climb up into me!
Hey, come to me, my sweet Bombay beeda (flavored betel wrap)!
You are my fizzy goli soda (marble soda)!
My mood has shifted,
and the heat is rising in my heart!
