My darling, just look at me,
Tell me, are you sweet fruit or still unripe?
My longing heart is a bed of love,
My love, my love, in you is my refuge, oh oh oh ho oho ho ho oo...
Are you my precious Kannan (Krishna)?
Are all your sweet glances pure honey?
Are you my precious Kannan (Krishna)?
Are all your sweet glances pure honey?
My longing heart is a bed of love,
My love, my love, in you is my refuge.
My longing heart is a bed of love,
My love, my love, is there refuge in you? Ah ha oh oh oo ho...
O beautifully sculpted figure,
Come swaying and dancing to me, come, come!
As an everlasting gift,
Give yourself to me, give, give!
As youth lovingly coaxes,
As your graceful form gently pleads,
As youth lovingly coaxes,
As your graceful form gently pleads,
What is wrong with coming close and loving me? Come running!
Aha, beat the rhythm,
Keep the beat, thakka dhimi thana!
Female: Aha, beat the rhythm,
Keep the beat, thakka dhimi thana!
My darling, just look at me,
Tell me, are you sweet fruit or still unripe?
Female: My longing heart is a bed of love,
My love, my love, in you is my refuge, ah ha oh oh ho...
The language spoken by your eyes is enough,
Come, come to play!
All the pleasures you haven't given yet,
Give them without hesitation, give, give!
As youth lovingly coaxes,
As your graceful form gently pleads,
As youth lovingly coaxes,
As your graceful form gently pleads,
What is wrong with coming close and loving me? Come running!
Aha, beat the rhythm,
Keep the beat, thakka dhimi thana!

Keep the beat, thakka dhimi thana!
