After working all around town,
the hour I returned was evening twilight,
Ah... aachedi...
Just to see you and talk to you,
that is why I came...
A little while,

what is wrong if I stay for just a bit?
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo
A billion rainbows
blended into a single palette of colors—
that is who you are, girl!
The words spoken by your eyes...
are they memories within my dreams?
Not knowing what to do,
it fills up all around,
like stars filling this sky...
A little while,
a little while,
a little while,
what is wrong if I stay for just a bit?
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo oo...

He admires her mesmerizing presence, comparing her radiance to a vibrant fusion of a hundred crore rainbows. As her eyes speak silent words to him, his wonder grows like the night sky filling up endlessly with brilliant stars.
