Masthana, Masthana... are you my sweetheart?
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to my question a yes?
Am I crazy? Am I crazy? Am I crazy about you?
Is it wrong, is it wrong to let this desire burn hot?
Are we going to have a wild, grand wedding?
Masthana, Masthana... I am indeed your sweetheart!
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to the question a yes?
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Just as I try to coax and sweet-talk her...
Hey hey hey hey... this rose-like girl,
She gets caught... why does she torment me so?
Shooting arrows with her eyes...
Hey hey hey hey... right at this hero,
She strikes... why does she strum my heart?
Don't spin around, don't spin around...
Don't go round in circles like an oil press!
Don't get tangled, don't get tangled...
Little flower, don't get trapped!
Is it a flash of lightning? Is it velvet? What is this glance of your eyes?
Masthana, Masthana... are you my sweetheart?
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to the question a yes?
Am I crazy? Am I crazy? Am I crazy about you?
Is it wrong, is it wrong to let this desire burn hot?
Are we going to have a wild, grand wedding?
Masthana, Masthana... I am indeed your sweetheart!
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to the question a yes?
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Folk tunes never heard before...
Hey hey hey hey...
I too have heard in the woods...
Hey, in the rustic countryside!
All the dances never seen before...
Hey hey hey hey... I too have watched
Across this land, to the beat of clapping hands!
Is it a chase? Is it a chase?
Is love really a race?
Is it a pass? Is it a pass?
Have we passed this exam of love?
When you touch me and I touch you, it is always a pass!
Masthana, Masthana... I am indeed your sweetheart!
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to the question a yes?
Am I crazy? Am I crazy? Am I crazy about you?
Is it wrong, is it wrong to let this desire burn hot?
Are we going to have a wild, grand wedding?
Masthana, Masthana... are you my sweetheart?
Is it a yes? Is it a yes? Is the answer to the question a yes?
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
Masthana... Masthana... Masthana...
