Hey... hey...
Figure it out, it's you!
You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Figure it out, it's you!
You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Do you understand when I speak?
Do you get it when I make a gesture?
Looking at you, my heart longs and babbles,
and a song begins to rise...
Figure it out, it's you!
You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Someone just like you,
these shoulders have been searching for!
Once love takes hold,
will it ever let go? Come, come!
Like the right thread for the needle,
today is the day we join together!
You are finally caught,
right in my grip, ha ha ha ha!
If I offer a fig,
and you are the parrot that pecks at it,
everything else,
you will understand as we go along!
Oh girl, you are the sandalwood paste
that I grind!
Female: Ha... aa
Male: You are the magic spell
that I chant!
Female: Hold me close to you,
take whatever you want!
I have figured it out!
Female: Hahahaha
Male: You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Female: Ah... ahahaha
Figure it out, it's you!
Male: Mmm
Female: You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Male: Hahaha
Like a hot dosa fresh off the pan,
I crave to tear a piece and eat it!
Female: Chee!
Male: If you just stand there watching,
is that any fun? Come on, come!
The passion my man has,
is racing at a hundred miles an hour!
Male: Oh boy!
Female: Wait a moment, I'll give it to you
served just right, heh heh!
A desire that wells up inside
should not be locked away!
It will burst out and overflow!
Hey, who is here
to stop you?
I'm waiting to wage this sweet war of love!
Hold me close to you,
Female: Haan
Male: take whatever you want!
I have figured it out!
Female: Hahahaha
Male: You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Female: Ah... ahahaha
I have figured it out!
You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
Now that you said it, I understand!
When you gave your hints, I got it!
Looking at you, my heart longs and babbles,
and a song begins to rise!
I have figured it out!
Female: Haan haha
Male: You are the sweet honey stored in the hive!
