O girl sweet as steamed puttu (rice cake),
Can I break you piece by piece and eat you up?
Your spicy fingers...
Can I touch and taste them a little?
O girl sweet as steamed puttu,
Can I break you piece by piece and eat you up?
Your spicy fingers...
Can I touch and taste them a little?
From your unfading jasmine blossoms,
Can I drink in and breathe your fragrance?
Against your sleek teak-wood body,
Can I brush close and feel it?
Lining your eyes with kohl, you enchant me,
Smearing ghee on me, you sizzle and roast me,
Coating me in honey and brushing with flowers,
You completely win me over!
Saiyu saiyu sai sai saiyu
Saiyu saiyu saiyu
Saiyu saiyu sai sai saiyu
Saiyu sai saiyu
O girl sweet as steamed puttu,
Can I break you piece by piece and eat you up?
Your spicy fingers...
Can I touch and taste them a little?
O statue sculpted in silver,
O biting winter chill,
You are melting me away!
O blazing sun of peak summer,
O simmering wave of heat,
Shall I open my long hair like an umbrella to shade you?
For your sugary sweet lips,
I scramble and ache like a hungry ant!
Seeing this longing you suffer through,
I forget all of my shyness!
Looking at your eyes, just your eyes,
Gazing endlessly, I have gone mad!
And am I not, yes am I not,
The perfect cure for your madness?
Saiyu saiyu sai sai saiyu
Saiyu saiyu saiyu
Saiyu saiyu sai sai saiyu
Saiyu sai saiyu
O girl sweet as steamed puttu,
Can I break you piece by piece and eat you up?
Your spicy fingers...
Can I touch and taste them a little?
Shall I break and eat you?
Shall I dip and taste you?
Shall I dip and taste you?
Shall I break and eat you?
Shall I break and eat you?
Shall I dip and taste you?
Shall I dip and taste you?
Shall I break and eat you?
Saiyu saiyu... oooh...
Saiyu sai saiyu sai saiyu saiyu
Saiyu sai saiyu sai saiyu saiyu
Sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai saiyaiyu
Sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai sai saiyaiyu
With these raw, youthful dreams,
From the soles of my feet,
A shiver runs all the way to my head, girl!
With sacred golden marriage dreams,
Deep inside my heart,
I carry you like a sacred wedding cord, my man!
In my restless, pounding dreams,
You came right there to hold me,
In my yearning dreams,
You showered your love upon me,
Within our dreams, deep inside,
Burning desires torment me, come to me, girl!
If you can just wait a little patiently,
I am the only true match for you!
I am that girl sweet as steamed puttu,
Break me piece by piece and eat me up, my man!
My spicy fingers are waiting too,
Dip and taste them on the side, my man!
From your unfading jasmine blossoms,
Can I drink in and breathe your fragrance?
Against your sleek teak-wood body,
Can I brush close and feel it?
Lining your eyes with kohl, oh ho ho oooh,
You enchant me, oh ho ho oooh,
Smearing ghee on me, oh ho ho oooh,
You sizzle and roast me, hoyyy!
Coating me in honey and brushing with flowers,
You completely win me over!
Saiyu saiyu... oooh...
