Why did I do all this?
My love, for you!
I weighed and sold the moon,
and gave it all for you.
I will tell the earth to stop spinning,
one day, just for you.
I did all kinds of things, my love,
all just for you!
Oh my beloved...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: My parrot in a churidar...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You torment me so...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: Mona Lisa...
Like thunder and lightning...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You strike me down...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You take revenge on me...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: Mona Lisa...
Why did I do all this?
My love, for you!
I weighed and sold the moon,
and gave it all for you.
I will tell the earth to stop spinning,
one day, just for you.
I did all kinds of things, my love,
all just for you!
Yeah yeah
To craft words with visual graphics,
I will ask them, just for you,
to say with flower-like words,
"I love you!"
At the distant horizon...
Female: Oh yeah
Male: Shall we go live there?
Female: Oh yeah
Male: Tell me, my flower...
Female: Oh yeah
Male: Mona Lisa
To fight in the battle of love,
without any swords,
I came all alone, my love.
Hey, my six-foot rose,
to live free like the wild forest,
give me your command today!
Why did I do all this?
My love, for you!
I weighed and sold the moon,
and gave it all for you.
I will tell the earth to stop spinning,
one day, just for you.
I did all kinds of things, my love,
all just for you!
Yeah yeah yeah...
I will pluck the stars from the sky,
and give them to you.
A sky of our very own,
I created just for you.
Over a telephone call...
Female: Oh yeah
Male: ...if my parrot doesn't speak,
Female: Oh yeah
Male: ...this pain will not heal...
Female: Oh yeah
Male: Mona Lisa
For me to reach the sky,
aren't you my hall ticket (entry pass)?
Come take my hand, my love!
Along with the cool blossoms,
to set our wedding date,
the gentle flower-breeze arrives!
Why did I do all this?
My love, for you!
I weighed and sold the moon,
and gave it all for you.
I will tell the earth to stop spinning,
one day, just for you.
I did all kinds of things, my love,
all just for you!
Oh my beloved...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: My parrot in a churidar...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You torment me so...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: Mona Lisa...
Like thunder and lightning...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You strike me down...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: You take revenge on me...
Female: Oh yeah...
Male: Mona Lisa...
Why did I do all this?
My love, for you!
I weighed and sold the moon,
and gave it all for you.
I will tell the earth to stop spinning,
one day, just for you.
I did all kinds of things, my love,
all just for you!
