It runs, it runs,
My heart too is running,
All on its own, right behind you!
It hops and leaps,
Sweetly calling out,
All on its own, because of your eyes!
It yearns and lingers,
It steals my life away,
And it is all because of you!
Squealing and fussing,
Just like a child,
Love wags its tail!
Oh my, oh my,
Your eyes
Sing me a lullaby!
It runs, it runs,
My heart too is running,
All on its own, right behind you!
It hops and leaps,
Sweetly calling out,
All on its own, because of your eyes!
You smile like a wind-up doll,
Shall I wind your key?
I have been holding back for so long, girl,
Can I touch you just a little?
A half-dozen kisses or so,
You can give me right now, boy!
Once we check the wedding date,
We can tear into each other like cotton!
Oh, in such a curious way,
In a completely new way,
I break into a sweat when you look at me, girl...
Hey... squealing and fussing,
Just like a child,
Love wags its tail!
Oh my, oh my,
Your eyes
Sing me a lullaby!
You sweet-talk me with your glance,
And plead the moment I glare at you,
Just like the Pakistan army,
You keep crossing the border!
Until we get married,
I cannot bear keeping my guard up!
Because of you, even when I sleep,
My longing never sleeps!
Oh, is it my anklet,
Or is it my heart,
That the moment I see you,
Starts chiming and fussing, boy?
It runs, it runs,
My heart too is running,
All on its own, right behind you!
It hops and leaps,
Sweetly calling out,
All on its own, because of your eyes!
It yearns and lingers,
It steals my life away,
And it is all because of you!
