As a moon for my eyes,
He created you.
As a companion for your heart,
He created me.
As a moon for your eyes,
He created me.
As a companion for my heart,
He created you.
Like a mother,
I will sing you a lullaby.
Every day, "Aararo Aariro",
I will sing.
Now and always, I will pamper you with love.
As a moon for your eyes,
He created me.
As a companion for my heart,
He created you.

When you walk in the midday heat,
I spread out like a bed of wild jasmine.
From head to toe,
as a sweet shiver runs through me,
desire gushes forth in my heart.
I long to dive deep,
waiting for the right moment to gather pearls.
Wait a little, let the night arrive.
Let our shyness slip away and flee.
When, my love, when? I am waiting!
I have bloomed from a bud into full flower.
As a moon for my eyes,
He created you.
As a companion for my heart,
He created you.
Hey thandhadhana thanane thandhadhanna
Thanaanene thandhadhanna
Chorus: Haaye haaye haaye
Hey thandhadhana thanane thandhadhanna
Thanaanene thandhadhanna
Chorus: Haaye haaye haaye
Thanna naane thannaane
Chorus: Haaye haaye haaye
When you sing the melody of the bedchamber,
I will accompany you like a rhythm drum.
As you strike, the rhythm opens wide,
and with every beat, passion grows deeper.
When we cuddle, will your body hurt?
Will it leave little bruises behind?
Shall I rub soothing ointment on the hurts?
Shall I fan you gently until they heal?
Oh my, oh my, you are so impatient!
What can I do, my love? It is a thirst for sweet pleasure!
As a moon for your eyes,
He created me.
Male: As a companion for your heart,
He created me.
Like a mother,
I will sing you a lullaby.
Every day, "Aararo Aariro",
I will sing.
Now and always, I will pamper you with love.
As a moon for my eyes,
He created you.
As a companion for my heart,
He created you.
