A blush of color on the cheeks,
And a new feeling shows in the eyes.
With tender lips,
And rising feelings, love sings a lullaby.
The floating clouds
tell me to fly.
A sweeping desire
pushes me closer.
The moment our hands entwine,
I become a brave man.
Resting my head on your shoulder,
I simply melt away.
Naana nana naanaa tharaa
Naana nannaararaa
This passion,
grows swift and sets both our bodies on fire.
As we rush together to unite,
desire wags its tail playfully.
The floating clouds
tell me to fly.
The longing to hold you
wraps me in an embrace.
Just to be united with you,
I dress up and adorn myself.
Everything that is in my heart,
I say it out loud.
