Four walls around us...
Look at him standing in the middle...
A mistake has happened...
Mumble a few words...
This place is delightful,
this place is delightful!
Ah-ha!
The couple is a perfect match!
Ah-ha!
The moment is pleasant!
Ah-ha!
Shall we come close, at least today?
This place is delightful!
Ah-ha!
The couple is a perfect match!
Ah-ha!
The moment is pleasant!
Ah-ha!
Shall we come close, at least today?
Born in the rain,
it plays inside the room!
Born in the rain,
it plays inside the room!
Some girl tied the knot,
and youth has become a feast!
Some girl tied the knot,
and youth has become a feast!
Stepping up the stairs,
I fell right into your lap!
Should I thank this mansion?
Stepping up the stairs,
I fell right into your lap!
Should I thank this mansion?
Or for drawing honey from a jar
and giving it to me,
should I thank that golden girl?
Oh my, enough of this playful teasing!
If anyone around sees, it would look improper!
Is my heart longing only a little?
What would be lost if I cuddle you?
What would be lost?
This place is delightful!
The couple is a perfect match!
The moment is pleasant!
Shall we come close, at least today?
Her youth is still unaccustomed,
having stayed alone for so long!
Her youth is still unaccustomed,
having stayed alone for so long!
Everything feels completely new,
knowing nothing of love!
Everything feels completely new,
aha, knowing nothing of love!
Taking thread woven from longing,
once the thali (sacred marriage thread) is tied,
isn't the private room paradise?
Oh my, my cheeks will hurt!
Give it a few more days and it will be sweet!
Fear and shyness hold me back!
Yet longing and desire are right there!
Desire is right there!
This place is delightful!
Ah-ha!
The couple is a perfect match!
Ah-ha!
The moment is pleasant!
Ah-ha!
Shall we come close, at least today?
