Hey... right onto my hand,
the moonlight has poured down, girl!
Grazing your cotton-soft cheek,
teasing a girl as delicate as glass,
showing off your sharp, spear-like waist,
bathing me in your beauty,
don't ignite a spark and walk away,
you fiery beauty!
Hoisting a flag at the edge of your lips,
driving a train straight through my soul,
don't trap me in a tiny corner,
you gorgeous tease!
With that sharp, piercing look in your eyes,
you chisel away my sanity!
Stamp me with a sweet seal,
you living puzzle of a painting!
The striped pattern on your saree clings so tight,
as if flashing a cheeky grin!
Male: Your marble eyes pull a trick,
building a trap and reeling me in!
Don't let the raging forest river in me
dry up along the banks!
Male: Along the golden crescent of your forehead,
don't leave me wandering lost!
When your smooth, rounded finger touches me,
a burst of sweet chills goes off!
When your drifting shadow brushes past me,
it gives me such a playful thrill, girl!
Catching your scent, all sorts of wild
thoughts keep rushing through my mind!
Female: A stray goat has come to these golden greens
and gobbled up all the treasure!
You stirred up chills, made me lovesick,
and left me wandering around!
Female: He turned my wild, stubborn heart into a tale
and left it completely scattered!
I collapsed right into her saree pleats,
and my story is finished!
Female: A big crocodile came to a little rabbit
and totally surrendered!
Hey, thanthana thanthaana ra.. ra.. aah rarara
Thanthana thanthaana ra
Hey, thanthana thanthaana ra.. ra.. aah rarara
Thanthana thanthaana ra...
Thana thanthana thanthana ra ra ra
Thanthana thanthaana ra...
Da rara ra ra.. da ra ra ra raa...
Da rara ra ra.. da ra ra ra raa...
