Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness…
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I will never leave you and go
I will lock you inside my heart
Don't kill me with your love
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I'll seek your face and kiss you
I'll stitch a million meanings into it
Don't consume me completely
More than you know yourself
I will try to get even closer to you
Entering silently without a word
I will weave my feelings into every cell of yours
Just to celebrate this life with you
I will gather a hundred thousand nights
Come, my life, come close to me...
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness…
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I will never leave you and go
I will lock you inside my heart
Don't kill me with your love
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I'll seek your face and kiss you
I'll stitch a million meanings into it
Don't consume me completely
Am I flying with your wings?
Are you there in my sweet sighs?
Whose lips are touching whose?
I am you, and you are me
Am I living in your dreams?
Are you the sweet mistakes I make?
Who is melting into whose touch?
I am you, and you are me
Like a flower garden where dew is falling
The moment you held me, I forgot everything
Why is it so, why is it so, why is it so?
A dewy heart where blossoms fall
I floated like a joyful river inside it
It is me, my love, it is me, it is me
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I will never leave you and go
I will lock you inside my heart
Don't kill me with your love
Hey bearded man, hey bearded man
I'll seek your face and kiss you
I'll stitch a million meanings into it
Don't consume me completely
More than you know yourself
I will try to get even closer to you
Entering silently without a word
I will weave my feelings into every cell of yours
Just to celebrate this life with you
I will gather a hundred thousand nights
Come, my life, come close to me...
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness
Oh my goodness…

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Dhaadikaara (Adiyaathi) from the film Sketch is a passionate love song where the female protagonist expresses her deep adoration for her partner, affectionately calling him 'Dhaadikaara' (bearded man). She declares her devotion, asserting that she will lock him within her heart and never leave his side. Her intense attachment makes even a sweet kiss carry millions of unspoken meanings. The song beautifully captures the blur of identities when two people fall deeply in love—expressing how their souls, dreams, and presence merge into one another. Metaphorical imagery of dew-filled gardens, endless nights, and delicate embraces illustrates the romantic bliss and complete surrender to love.
