Ho.. ho..
Joyful melodies inside the heart,
This is a golden time brimming with delight!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Your songs tell us it is time
An auspicious moment to fall in love!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Drums beat within our eyes,
A lively rhythm pulses in our hearts!
Let the distance between us fade away,
Come celebrate this season of youth!
Ho ho ho oh oho..
Ho ho ho oh oho..
Joyful melodies inside the heart,
This is a golden time brimming with delight!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Your songs tell us it is time
An auspicious moment to fall in love!

In the song sung by the cuckoo in the grove,
You are the musical notes,
And I am the lyrics!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
On the veena of love strummed by youth,
You are the melody,
And I am the rhythm!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
My future in your eyes,
I have seen it clearly!
How is it that within you,
I found myself?
O flowering vine, ho..
Your very gaze is intoxicating!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
Your every word is sacred truth!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
Joyful melodies inside the heart,
This is a golden time brimming with delight!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Your songs tell us it is time
An auspicious moment to fall in love!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
The same art that Kamadeva (the god of love) and his consort experience in love,
I desire that very same art,
I desire this very same pleasure!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
At the sweet time when youth blossoms,
The mango has ripened so beautifully within,
And what sweet pleasure has blossomed!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey.. yeh.. hey..
This precious girl with all her womanhood,
Has found you at last!
The soothing moonlight in both her eyes,
She has brought for you!
O my king, oh.. hoo oo
Where is the bed to share our love?
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Fresh milk and fruits are needed here!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Joyful melodies inside the heart,
This is a golden time brimming with delight!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Your songs tell us it is time
An auspicious moment to fall in love!
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Drums beat within our eyes,
A lively rhythm pulses in our hearts!
Let the distance between us fade away,
Come celebrate this season of youth!
Ho ho ho oh oho..
Ho ho ho oh oho..
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
Yeh.. yeh.. hey
