Love was born, desire grew,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
My love, my desire for you grows each day!
Female: My beloved, my body melts like wax!
Male: With the heart pleading to celebrate our union every day,
our youth struggles with desire!
Hey, love was born, desire grew,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
The budding jasmine has never been kissed,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
On this soft cotton bed,
why not come and teach the art of ten fingers?
Male: Hey, there is no need to feel shy
and hold anything back!
Why not give yourself fully to me?
Standing at a distance only brings distress,
Male: as time slips by, the heavy longing grows!
Female: These moments when we drink sweet young wine,
are they the love potions of Kama (god of love)?... Ooh...
Hey, love was born, desire grew,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
Like a water lily blooming at dusk,
inviting us to a feast,
do your lips come forward to speak?
Female: Even after coming so close to heaven,
there are no words to say,
does shyness make my mouth falter?
Even after the morning star appears,
saying I will not let you go,
do not shy away and run, my girl... Ah!
Female: In the heat of your playful glance,
if this tender vine yields,
it cannot withstand your tight grasp!
It is enough if the Ganga (sacred river) flows in!
Female: It is enough if I rest in your arms!
Male: Without embracing that beauty
and experiencing it, this youth will never find peace!
Love was born, desire grew,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
My love, my desire for you grows each day!
Female: My beloved, my body melts like wax!
Male: With the heart pleading to celebrate our union every day,
our youth struggles with desire!
Hey, love was born, desire grew,
will passion arise now?
Female: When desire is born and urgency grows,
will our bodies remain two?
