You can go ahead and test my love!
You can go ahead and test my love!
Even the ocean has a shore,
But my love has no bounds at all!
You can go ahead and test my love!
It is bigger in size than the whole world,
Only it does not have a round shape!
It is bigger in size than the whole world,
Only it does not have a round shape!
Is its color black or white?
Show it to me now, where is it?

Male: You can test my love!

Talking sweetly, getting close, and then walking away—
Is yours the love of a cinema villain?
Talking sweetly, getting close, and then walking away—
Is yours the love of a cinema villain?
Even after looking at such a smiling face,
Would I ever become a cinema villain?
Even after looking at such a smiling face,
Would I ever become a cinema villain?
Female: What joy! Aahaahaaha!
Male: It is true, come, come, come...
Female: Is that so? Come, come, come...
Shall I put your love to the test?
Shall I test it?
Male: You can test my love!

Shall I take you to the moon?
Shall I buy and shower you with georgette sarees?

Why all this idle bragging?
Do you have the means to keep your word?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful duet features a lighthearted banter between a skeptical woman and a confident lover. The female protagonist challenges the male lover's sincerity, teasing him about whether his affection is mere playboy posturing or akin to a deceptive movie villain. In response, the male protagonist boldly reassures her that his love is boundless, far vaster than the earth itself, and defies superficial descriptions or worldly limits.
