Hey sweet Jigarthanda (cool sweet drink)!
Jigarthanda!
You and I, oh,
Seeking and searching,
Let's dance and see!
Hey sassy girl!
Hey sassy girl!
You and I, oh,
Teasing and tempting,
Let's touch and see!
A woman's... a woman's...
Body... body...
Female: Inside it,
There is a fire, do you know?
In the heart... in the heart...
Lingering... lingering...
Female: For my longing,
Do you understand what it feels like?
Not for the night, but for broad daylight,
A young girl is calling out, oh my!
Female: Hold me tight, break me down,
Worrying about time and place is foolish, boy!
Hey sassy girl!
Hey sassy girl!
You and I, oh,
Teasing and tempting,
Let's touch and see!
Jigarthanda!
Jigarthanda!
You and I, oh,
Seeking and searching,
Let's dance and see!
Is there any measure for desire?
You are the key to my clothes!
If a woman locks herself up,
A man's kiss will break it open!
This is a festival of sweat!
In this heat, even the moon is melting!
Until we reach the very peak,
Touching the peak seems far away!
With just the tips of my mustache,
I will trace you from front to back!
Female: Like a fire hidden beneath ash,
I lay waiting... ah... ah...
Hey sassy girl!
Hey sassy girl!
You and I, oh,
Teasing and tempting,
Let's touch and see!
Everybody, people there!
Put your hands up!
Party going on!
Put your hands up!
Party going on!
Put your hands up!
Party going on!
Put your hands up!
Hey, like a body blended
with sweet gulkand (rose-petal preserve),
A body suddenly dripping with sweat!
In the heat of our breaths,
There is the scent of clothes singeing!
Is the sweet tune of a flower basket mine?
The scent of honey is your melody!
The flower basket and the scent of honey,
Has the time come for them to become one?
Hey, like a doorway built
with perfect Vaastu (traditional architectural harmony),
I saw that perfect design in your body!
Female: Let us study the scriptures of love,
Come on, my heart!
Hey sassy girl!
Hey sassy girl!
You and I, oh,
Seeking and searching,
Let's dance and see!
Let's see, let's see, let's see!
Let's see, let's see, let's see!
