{Oh oho oo oho...
Oh oho oo oho...
Ooho ooho oo oo oho ho...} (2)
What penance did I do,
that you came looking for me?
You fill my heart with deep joy...
In me, the string of a veena,
are you the gentle breeze blowing by?
You awaken music and pass on...
You are pure magic...
The question buried on my lips...
Never-ending, never-ceasing...
A celebration at the edge of your eyes!
Hey, leaving behind what is good and bad,
my heart has become a melody!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
My heart has become a melody!
My heart, once hardened like a stone,
now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
What penance did I do,
that you came looking for me?
You fill my heart with deep joy...
In me, the string of a veena,
are you the gentle breeze blowing by?
You awaken music and pass on...
The flow of your gaze
is a lasting blessing.
The prints of your feet
are the map of my world.
Like a toy a child hides away,
love chases and watches over us.
Every day, the moment your face fades away,
grey falls into the air,
and my deep longing soaks me through.
Hey, leaving behind what is good and bad,
my heart has become a melody!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
My heart has become a melody!
My heart, once hardened like a stone,
now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
My heart keeps humming your name,
and lovely anger rises because of you.
The yearnings dwelling in my soul
blossom like the darkness of a shadow.
The power to touch the stars in beauty,
this innocent dove attains,
as my love carries me gently.
What penance did I do,
that you came looking for me?
You fill my heart with deep joy...
In me, the string of a veena,
are you the gentle breeze blowing by?
You awaken music and pass on...
You are pure magic...
The question buried on my lips...
Never-ending, never-ceasing...
A celebration at the edge of your eyes!
Hey, leaving behind what is good and bad,
my heart has become a melody!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
My heart has become a melody!
My heart, once hardened like a stone,
now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Now flows so cool and fresh, girl!
