What do you want? What do you desire?
Come close to me.
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
You will get whatever you ask for here,
Just choose and tell me.
Do you want a quiet kiss?
Do you want the scent of my sandalwood bindi?
Do you want to touch my golden face?
Do you want to look at my red kumkum dot?
Hey, forever and always,
I will never stay far away.
What do you want? What do you desire?
Come close to me.
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
You will get whatever you ask for here,
Just choose and tell me.
I gave my heart away, I gave it to you.
Once I give it, it is given forever, isn't it?
Male: I took it, I found a place in your heart.
Once I hold on, it is held forever, isn't it?
Even if you tell a lie,
I will still listen to it as the truth.
Male: Even if you speak the truth,
I will tease and ask, "Is it really true?"
The spell you cast,
The magic trick you played,
Spins without stopping
Like a top, this heart of mine.
All your charms and tricks,
Are they all meant for me?
What do you want? What do you desire?
Come close to me.
You will get whatever you ask for here,
Just choose and tell me.
Nan nana nan naanaa nan nanannana
The fragrance called love
Blows across the land of our hearts.
Female: Sweetly in love, right there,
You are the one who should live.
You, who were heading somewhere else,
Why are you stopping right here now?
Female: In front of you, because of you,
I can think of nothing else.
For the wedding garland you will put on me,
For the path I will walk on,
For this sweet play of love,
For that golden day,
Shall we walk together hand in hand?
My dear, come and stand before me.
What do you want? What do you desire?
Come close to me.
Female: Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
You will get whatever you ask for here,
Just choose and tell me.
Do you want a quiet kiss?
Do you want the scent of my sandalwood bindi?
Do you want to touch my golden face?
Do you want to look at my red kumkum dot?
Hey, forever and always,
I will never stay far away.
What do you want? What do you desire?
Come close to me.
Male: Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
You will get whatever you ask for here,
Just choose and tell me.
