You keep laying your hands on me, touching me!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
...
Hey, you keep laying your hands on me, touching me!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
He keeps laying his hands on me, touching me!
He stitches up my heart with his eyes!
Playing innocent, you sweet-talk and tempt me!
Without a pause, he keeps stirring up my desires!
You wring out my very soul, oh no, oh dear, oh my!
You keep laying your hands on me, touching me!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
He keeps laying his hands on me, touching me!
He stitches up my heart with his eyes!
A needle... Female: A thread...
A needle, a needle... Female: A thread, a thread...
A needle and thread... Female: A thread and needle...
...
Packing up packed food and hitching the wooden cart,
We can head off toward the forest!
Girl, we can weave a reed mat,
And lie down on it for a lifetime!
Touching on and off, clinging close like a leech,
We can have wild, playful fun!
We can do everything we ever dreamed of!
We can satisfy all our burning desires!
We can bump and tussle together,
We can tumble and do somersaults!
Hey, all the clothes we wore,
Might just go missing completely!
Hey little girl from Kottampatti, made to be embraced,
Burst into flames in a flash, you little matchbox!
{ Oh no, oh dear, oh my, oh my! } (2)
You keep laying your hands on me, touching me!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
He keeps laying his hands on me, touching me!
He stitches up my heart with his eyes!
...
Water, water, river water!
Love is fresh spring water!
You must scoop it up and drink your fill!
Hey lover boy, you charming rogue,
You are the screw that fastens my anklet!
Hey girl with the pretty beauty mark,
Girl with dark kohl in your eyes,
Bring over all your shapely beauty!
Your nose is a sharp quill pen,
And girl, you are my soft pillow!
Hey, you need to pull me close,
Pleads my half-sari!
Hold me and pour yourself into me, you daytime enchantress!
{ Dingidi dingi dicki dicki dicki dee } (2)
{ Oh no, oh dear, oh my, oh my! } (2)
Hey, you keep laying your hands on me, ah haha!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
Hey, he keeps laying his hands on me, ah haha!
He stitches up my heart with his eyes!
Hey, playing innocent, you sweet-talk and tempt me!
Without a pause, he keeps stirring up my desires!
You wring out my very soul, oh no, oh dear, oh my!
You keep laying your hands on me, touching me!
You keep asking for my heart like a casual loan!
He keeps laying his hands on me, touching me!
He stitches up my heart with his eyes!
