Humming….
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my own!
And all by myself,
I hid you deep inside my soul!
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my very own!
It was only you, yes only you,
that I hid deep inside my soul!
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
Like sweet sugarcane juice boiled down,
you are the lump of jaggery I made!
Where did you hide my heart?
Tell me, my sweet darling!
Like sweet sugarcane juice boiled down,
you are the lump of jaggery I made!
Where did you hide my heart?
Tell me, my sweet darling!
I saw your face, my love,
just yesterday!
And a longing rose within me, my delicate flower,
to be united with you!
Girl, even though you know my heart,
don't pretend you don't understand!
In both your words and your glances,
don't erupt at me like a volcano!
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my own!
And all by myself,
I hid you deep inside my soul!
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my very own!
It was only you, yes only you,
that I hid deep inside my soul!
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
For only a short while on this earth,
we were born to live our lives,
Yet this single lifetime is not enough
for me to love and hold you as mine!
For only a short while on this earth,
we were born to live our lives,
Yet this single lifetime is not enough
for me to love and hold you as mine!
My sweetheart, if you are with me,
my life will be a blooming garden!
We will raise children and thrive,
branching out strong like the roots of a banyan tree!
My darling, don't ever think
of stepping away and leaving me!
I have loved you with all my heart, my dear,
so please do not forget me!
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my own!
And all by myself,
I hid you deep inside my soul!
Oh my deer, my gentle deer!
I thought of you as my very own!
It was only you, yes only you,
that I hid deep inside my soul!
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
You green parrot who charmed me so,
why did you spin me around and just watch?
Just because I asked for a kiss,
why did you blush and run away?
