The sweet jasmine has not slept,
This wretched heart cannot bear it, oh dear!
Tell me, where will this story go?
Ah, tell me, where will this story go?
Hey my golden girl, oh dingiri dingale!
Hey my golden girl, oh dingiri dingale!
The sweet jasmine has not slept,
This wretched heart cannot bear it, oh dear!
Tell me, where will this story go?
Ah, tell me, where will this story go?
Standing by the lakeside to be together as a pair,
Now that you've come close, girl, why be shy?
Standing by the lakeside to be together as a pair,
Now that you've come close, girl, why be shy?
Hey hey hey, this is the moment to hold hands,
This is the time to speak stories with our eyes!
The grand debut of youth, and the lovers losing their balance,
The grand debut of youth, and the lovers losing their balance!
The sweet jasmine has not slept,
This wretched heart cannot bear it, oh dear!
Tell me, where will this story go?
Ah, tell me, where will this story go?
In the biting cold,
In the fire that brings warmth,
The firewood burned away,
And the burning desire was calmed!
In the biting cold,
In the fire that brings warmth,
The firewood burned away,
And the burning desire was calmed!
Hey hey, the young lad called her to sing a new song,
To match the rhythm, she gave away her saree,
He wrote the first verse,
And held the full-moon beauty in his arms, ah... ah...
He wrote the first verse,
And held the full-moon beauty in his arms!
The sweet jasmine has not slept,
This wretched heart cannot bear it, oh dear!
Tell me, where will this story go?
Ah, tell me, where will this story go?
Hey my golden girl, oh dingiri dingale!
Hey my golden girl, oh dingiri dingale!
The sweet jasmine has not slept,
This wretched heart cannot bear it, oh dear!
Tell me, where will this story go?
Ah, tell me, where will this story go...
