Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Will the sweet honey taste of fresh pomegranate
sing the morning Bhoopalam melody every day... oh... oh...
Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Is your body a golden veena (traditional string instrument)?
Shall I come to play its strings?
For you to play it,
shall I surrender my body into your hands?
You are the overflowing Ganga river,
reaching my bed like the Sindhu river.
When you gently come and touch me,
my saree lets go of its shyness.
Lips soften and the body thrills with shivers,
that sweet trance will invite us every day.
Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Will the sweet honey taste of fresh pomegranate
sing the morning Bhoopalam melody every day... oh... oh...
In the golden evening, I will wear flowers in my hair,
and rest upon your shoulder.
Just like a mother, every single day,
I will come to sing you a lullaby.
In the school of love where you teach,
I am your student until the break of dawn.
In your lap, I am like a child, my love,
and you are the generous soul who gives freely.
As long as breath remains in this body,
this closeness will last forever.
Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Will the play of lips unfold on stage?
Will your eyes sing Neelambari (a soothing night melody)?
Will the sweet honey taste of fresh pomegranate
sing the morning Bhoopalam melody every day... oh... oh...
