Brave hero of the evening, breaking every spell,
Come looking for your deer, come, come, come!
For me, darling Meena, to see as well,
Come show me tomorrow!
An unhooked
fish, a fish!
Barely grown a beard, yet acting like a big shot?
Pure, untouched
honey, honey!
Come under the cover of night,
creeping in, ah-ah-m,
as you touch me again and again,
come taste endlessly sweet!
In the deafening noise around,
and among the lively dancing
crowds, where money talks,
leaning into narrow alleys and corners,
we can catch a glimpse of each other!
Tha thari kida thathaku thathaku
Tha thari kida thathaku tha
Tha thari kida thathaku thathaku
Tha thari kida thathaku tha
Hey, without a single word,
to swim in a wondrous waterfall,
our eyes lock and clash,
trying to make each other bite the dust!
Hey, without tearing apart,
to meet in a secret dream,
hands and dark-rimmed eyes
sway gracefully like a swing!
As hands wander stealthily
over the body,
will sparks fly with our touch?
In this heart that watches and waits,
will the longing be fulfilled?
Just by sporting a mustache,
glaring fiercely,
is it enough to twirl it?
With longing in my heart,
shall I light the fire of passion?
Brave hero of the evening, breaking every spell,
Come looking for your deer, come, come, come!
For me, darling Meena, to see as well,
Come show me tomorrow!
An unhooked
fish, a fish!
Barely grown a beard, yet acting like a big shot?
Pure, untouched
honey, honey!
Come under the cover of night,
creeping in, ah-ah-m,
as you touch me again and again,
come taste endlessly sweet!
A breathtaking kiss,
a kiss,
if you pull me close and give me one,
all the playful tricks you have in mind,
we can learn all day long!
In the deafening noise around,
and among the lively dancing
crowds, where money talks,
leaning into narrow alleys and corners,
we can catch a glimpse of each other!
Tha thari kida thathaku thathaku
Tha thari kida thathaku tha
Tha thari kida thathaku thathaku
Tha thari kida thathaku tha
