It is waiting...
It is waiting...
It is waiting...
It is waiting...
I- It is waiting...
In a boat on the sea,
My heart yearns to go...
Come to me, come...
The milky moon over there,
Lies rolling softly,
An intoxicated moon...
Come to me, come...
Come to me, come...
Come to me, come...
...
Ah, ah, ah, I will keep waiting...
Enough waiting, come now,
Come, my Manmatha (God of love)...
Shall we swim?
Shall we drown?
Come, let us see!

...
As passion builds like a mountain,
As intoxication rises higher,
Come, surrender to my spell...
Running endlessly in desire,
Countless veenas (lutes) are strummed,
You are my only partner now.
