Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Male: Hey!
Female: Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Come along, swaying and dancing,
Come along, swaying and dancing,
Now my heart aches in this chilly winter breeze!
Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Sleep just wouldn't come,
without resting on my handsome man's shoulder!
Sleep just wouldn't come,
without resting on my handsome man's shoulder!
Longing for you, I dressed up and applied kohl,
I cast aside my shyness and waited, but you never came!
Even the bed I made had no luck!
I bought you a saree and a blouse,
and came over eager to have some fun,
I was so tired that I fell asleep, my darling!
Tomorrow, I'll shower you with all my gifts!
Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Come along, swaying and dancing,
Now my heart aches in this chilly winter breeze!
There is milk and fruit,
and right beside me is your beauty, my girl!
There is milk and fruit,
and right beside me is your beauty, my girl!
The breeze came and brushed against you,
and with that same touch, it brushed against me!
My love, my hands must truly have good luck!
My silken darling, wait just a moment,
Let me shut the front door,
and light the wick of the lamp,
The time has come to shower your love, my king!
Desire has risen inside my heart...
That's the spirit!
Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Hey-hey!
The crow is jet-black,
while my sweet cousin's cheeks are glowing red!
The crow is jet-black,
while my sweet cousin's cheeks are glowing red!
I will scoop you up in my arms with desire,
playfully pinch you here and there,
and hold you tight in passion, my queen!
I will teach you all the arts of love!
Now I understand the meaning
of why my left eye was twitching!
I am tingling with excitement, darling; if your hands
just touch me, this longing will finally be soothed...
Male: Here I touch you!
Mama, oh Mama! Yes, my fragrant blossom,
You must treat me to that feast up on the hill!
Come along, swaying and dancing,
Now my heart aches in this chilly winter breeze!
