Slowly, so slowly,
Slowly, so slowly,
You draw me in... is it to take revenge?
Slowly, so slowly,
Slowly, so slowly,
You draw me in... is it to take revenge?
Right beside the peacock throne,
I descended like a raincloud.
And in the corner of your eye,
I have fallen.
Slowly, so slowly,
Slowly, so slowly,
You draw me in... is it to make me yours?
Like a graceful swan, what beauty,
A lotus spilling pure charm,
The god of love composing upon the bed,
Such is her beauty!
It reaches out in all eight directions,
Crowned with honours day after day,
There are no words left to describe her.
Do I need a royal banner?
Do I need a royal umbrella?
Can anything in this world
Give comfort like resting in your lap?
Do I need an army?
Do I need an enemy?
Who else could ever conquer me like you do?
There is no one who can defeat me,
Except you, oh melody that conquers the world!
Yea... yea... yea...
Dancing with no beginning and no end,
A radiant light, this handsome hero!
Transcending the skies and ruling the earth,
Isn't she the flower touched by this peerless king?
Aaaa... aa... aaaa... aa...
Dancing with no beginning and no end,
A radiant light, this handsome hero!
Transcending the skies and ruling the earth,
Isn't she the flower touched by this peerless king?
Rana... Rana...
Rana, come caress me,
For if you hold yourself back,
This beauty will go to waste.
Let us not waste any time.
The jasmine touched by your hands
Has held nothing back.
A little sweet, loving tease
Shows the very heights of joy.
Jaare jaare jaare
Jaare jaare jaare
Jaa jaare jaa jaare
Jaa jaare jaa jaare
Jaare jaare jaa...
Dancing with no beginning and no end,
A radiant light, this handsome hero!
Transcending the skies and ruling the earth,
Isn't she the flower touched by this peerless king?
Roo roo rooo... roo roo rooo... roo roo rooo...
Like a graceful swan, what beauty,
A lotus spilling pure charm,
The god of love composing upon the bed,
Such is her beauty!
It reaches out in all eight directions,
Crowned with honours day after day,
There are no words left to describe her.
Do I need a royal banner?
Do I need a royal umbrella?
Can anything in this world
Give comfort like resting upon your chest?
Do I need an army?
Do I need an enemy?
Who else could ever conquer me like you do?
Slowly, so slowly,
Slowly, so slowly,
You draw me in... is it to take revenge?
Slowly, so slowly,
Slowly, so slowly,
You draw me in... is it to make me yours?
