Cassata love!
Does it taste sweet in your heart?
Chorus: Does it taste sweet?
A sweet basundi glance,
A glance,
You cast at me and walked away, walked away!
Words soft as soan papdi, words,
You spoke to me and walked away, walked away!
Barbie... Barbie...
With your kulfi-like nose,
Don't you touch my cheek!
With almond treats,
Don't place them all over and tease me!
A sweet basundi glance,
A glance,
You cast at me and walked away, walked away!
Cassata love!
Does it taste sweet in your heart?
Like playing Candy Crush
All over you,
As my fingers run across your chest,
Like an ant that wandered
Into a sweet shop,
Here I crawl all over you!
Through and through,
You taste so sweet!
Like the nectar of a flower,
Like a moon in a gulab jamun,
You appeared in the midnight hour...
Cassata love!
Male: Cassata!
Female: Does it taste sweet in your heart?
A sweet basundi glance,
You cast at me and walked away!
Words soft as soan papdi,
You spoke to me and walked away!
Aa aa aa ha ha ha
Your smile is always chilling me!
Being apart is always killing me!
Yeah!
Just looking into your eyes,
I turned into an ice cube...
Just looking at you is sweet,
Oh, sweet shop!
When you pull me close
With your glance,
Sweet hormones,
Just thinking of you,
Catch fire when you come
And embrace me!
Oh, sweet shop!
When you pull me close!
Just thinking of you!
When you embrace me!
Thinking a chocolate sculpture
Is standing there asking for a kiss,
Now hovering over me
Like a hesitant fly,
You look at me!
Why are you standing there?
To press your lips to mine,
You are yearning!
A lava of sweet paalkova...
Male: Aaah...
Female: Let it overflow, come on, come!
Male: Aa... aa... aa...
Burfi!
Male: Girl, why are you killing me?
Chorus: Barbie!
Cassata love!
It tastes so sweet in my heart!
With your kulfi-like nose,
Don't you touch my cheek!
With almond treats,
Don't place them all over and tease me!
A sweet basundi glance,
A glance,
You cast at me and walked away, walked away!
Words soft as soan papdi,
You spoke to me and walked away!
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
There is no one like you!
Male: Mmm, mmm, mmm
Male: Maybe there is, but I don't care...
