Ah... hahaha... ah...
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ha ah ah ah
For the queen of love to embrace and lie down,
The bed is ready; come, you piece of perfect beauty!
For your milk-white body to lie down and playfully bounce,
Come, round silver moon... oh...
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
For the queen of love to embrace and lie down,
The bed is ready; come, you piece of perfect beauty!
For your milk-white body to lie down and playfully bounce,
Come, round silver moon... oh...
Why this shyness, my turmeric-bright vine?
What pleasure is there in feeling afraid?
When a man and a woman share a bed all alone,
Won't the sweet joys of Manmatha (the god of love) arrive? Oh...
Why this shyness, my turmeric-bright vine?
What pleasure is there in feeling afraid?
When a man and a woman share a bed all alone,
Won't the sweet joys of Manmatha (the god of love) arrive? Oh...
Look at our bond as cousins, my girl!
Speak a few sweet words with your parrot-like voice!
For the queen of love to embrace and lie down,
The bed is ready; come, you piece of perfect beauty!
For your milk-white body to lie down and playfully bounce,
Come, round silver moon... oh...
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
At this sacred hour of love, my spotted little peacock,
Why do you stand so far away?
A flood of desire is surging like the river Ganges,
What is the mood over there with you? Ha!
Moon of the sky, teach me the sacred art of Kamadeva and Rati (the gods of love)!
Listen to the lesson that brings joy till the dead of night!
For the queen of love to embrace and lie down,
The bed is ready; come, you piece of perfect beauty!
For your milk-white body to lie down and playfully bounce,
Come, round silver moon... oh...
As our hands slowly entwine with each other,
The sweet nectar of love will overflow!
As cheeks are gently pinched again and again,
Heavenly joy will stay and linger!
As our hands slowly entwine with each other,
The sweet nectar of love will overflow!
As cheeks are gently pinched again and again,
Heavenly joy will stay and linger!
Sing a tune of desire from the corners of your eyes!
Give me a sign so I can join you on this little boat!
For the queen of love to embrace and lie down,
The bed is ready; come, you piece of perfect beauty!
For your milk-white body to lie down and playfully bounce,
Come, round silver moon... oh...
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
Takku muhum takku muhum muhum muhum
