Hey hey hey
Where are you going, girl? Stop, wait a bit!
Tell me, when will you give in?
I am an unmarried, innocent girl!
Don't undress me with your eyes, stop right there!
The loose end of your saree is fluttering here
Female: Shyness bows its head before you
Male: Just one!
Female: Haha, no, no!
Haha, no, no!
Where are you going, girl? Stop, wait a bit!
Tell me, when will you give in?
I am an unmarried, innocent girl!
Don't undress me with your eyes, stop right there!
The loose end of your saree is fluttering here
Female: Shyness bows its head before you
Male: Just one!
Female: Haha, no, no!
Haha, no, no!
Aaaa... aa...
Even the breeze is filled with desire for you,
And invisibly comes crashing into me!
I was only looking casually!
Female: If you say so, I won't believe you!
Both your eyes are wandering all over!
Female: Cupid's arrow will pierce!
Male: Heart will leap into heart!
Female: The lines on our palms will rub away!
Male: Oh, to recite an endless poem of love!
Female: Oh my, my heart is racing!
Where are you going, girl? Stop, wait a bit!
Tell me, when will you give in?
I am an unmarried, innocent girl!
Don't undress me with your eyes, stop right there!
The loose end of your saree is fluttering here
Female: Shyness bows its head before you
Male: Just one!
Female: Haha, no, no!
Haha-aan
Ah... In this golden twilight, the body heats up,
Just looking with the eyes won't quench this thirst!
Look around to make sure no one is watching,
And pour out the sweet honey of desire!
As lightning flashes in the eyes,
Male: While our hands entwine,
Female: Lay out a bed,
Male: Sing a sweet song of love!
Female: Oh, will you tie the thali (sacred marriage thread)?
Male: Oh yes, shall I tie the sacred knot?
Where are you going, girl? Stop, wait a bit!
Tell me, when will you give in?
I am an unmarried, innocent girl!
Don't undress me with your eyes, stop right there!
The loose end of your saree is fluttering here
Female: Shyness bows its head before you
Male: Just one!
Female: Haha, no, no!
