so many waiting eagerly,
like the greatest of kings,
with you and me reigning in majesty!
Enough, enough!
Enough, enough!
Simple as I am, I belong to you,

Female: Oh goodness me!
Why all this, why, why?
As long as we live on this earth,
aren't we truly meant for each other?
My king, just the shelter of your shadow
is paradise to me!
I want to be a very rich man
Female: Ha...
Male: I want to be a splendidly rich man

while I admire your beauty!
Female: Hahaha!
With sweet grapes from Kabul
and fresh apples from Kashmir,
served by handmaidens,
for you and me to feast on!
Enough, enough!
Enough, enough!
Just looking at you is enough for me,
Male: Is it?
Female: I completely forget my hunger!
Male: Hahaha!
Female: If you are not by my side,
even milk and fruit taste bitter,
aha ha, even my bed feels lonely and cold!
