Aha... ah... ah...

Aah... aah... thara... ah... tha na na... ah...
Hey... is she an angel... an angel?
Oh... who is she... who is she?
Oh... oh... an angel, an angel... an angel
Is she an angel?
Who is she, who is she, who could she be?
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
She arrived on the breeze!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Who is she?
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
Right before my eyes!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Who is she?
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
She arrived on the breeze!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Oh my god!
Love, the angel of love
Right before my eyes!
Is this a dream or is it re... real?
Casting her scarf like a net
To chase and capture me
With eyes like loaded guns
To shoot and finish me off
Like a SIM card without a phone
My body lies helpless
In the form of a woman
Is she the god of death... the god of death?
Right inside my mind
A Pokhran blast explodes
And my melted soul
She slurps and drinks it all
Just to destroy my sanity
Scheming and planning
She came looking for me!
Oh my goodness!
The angel of love, an angel
An an... angel, an angel
She arrived on the breeze!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Who is she?
I have seen many girls
In this world, girl
But the top rank
Goes to you alone, my dear!
Shall I steer you off track
And get the party started?
Chorus: Come, get the party started!
Male: Shall I take you away
And drive your passions wild?
Treat me like a king
All through the day
And wear me like your dress
All through the night!
Teach me a lesson
That's not in any syllabus!
Ah, this madness gives such a kick!
Oh my goodness!
Thira thira na na nane
Naanaa naa...
Thira thira na na nane
Naanaa naa...
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
She arrived on the breeze!
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
Right before my eyes!
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
Angel, angel, angel, angel
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
She arrived on the breeze!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Who is she?
The angel of love, an angel
An angel, an angel
Right before my eyes!
Is this a dream or is it real?
Who is she?
Love, love, the angel
An angel, an angel...
An angel, an angel...
An angel, an angel...
On the breeze, on the breeze, on the breeze, on the breeze
She has arrived...
Is this a dream or is it real?
Love, love
An angel, an angel
An angel, an angel...
An angel, an angel...
In the form of a woman, a woman
...is she the god of death?
