My little parrot, don't you understand yet?
What's the harm if you come close to embrace me?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
Come on, my darling
Hold me and feel me
Don't ever leave me...
Say that you love me...
My little parrot, don't you understand yet?
Are my longings to embrace you just one or two?
Is there a way to find that sweet bliss here?
Is there a way to find that sweet bliss here?
Hello, my beauty
Don't be so naughty
I am so hearty
But I can't help it, sweetie
Applying kohl to your eyes,
and feeding me the intoxication of love,
showing a soft bed in your heart,
why do you torment and tease me so?
Sent as a messenger from Kama (the god of love),
I am a woman deeply in love with you.
When I myself am asking this of you,
what sin could there possibly be in it?
Hello, my beauty
Don't be so naughty
I am so hearty
But I can't help it, sweetie
My little parrot, don't you understand yet?
What's the harm if you come close to embrace me?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
Upon your slender waist, delicate as a vine,
as if brushed by a flash of lightning,
the moment you come and touch me,
a cool heaven descends to earth.
Your sweet love is more than enough,
what will become of my restraint?
No woman has ever touched me before,
nor have I ever spoken like this with anyone.
Come on, my darling
Hold me and feel me
Don't ever leave me...
Say that you love me...
My little parrot, don't you understand yet?
Are my longings to embrace you just one or two?
Is there a way to find that sweet bliss here?
Is there a way to find that sweet bliss here?
Hello, my beauty
Don't be so naughty
I am so hearty
But I can't help it, sweetie
My little parrot, don't you understand yet?
What's the harm if you come close to embrace me?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
What's the harm if we taste sweet bliss just once?
