Ohoo…oo…oooo
Ohoo…ooo….ooo….
Oho... oh-oh-oh
...
For the very first time,
girl, I saw you.
Completely and entirely,
I lost myself that very day.
Only once,
I asked for just one thing.
Along with my own life,
I made you one with me today.
It is you... yeah...
Just like a mother,
like a child who never sleeps,
like a spirit that never drives me away,
you loved me.
Thinking I would never fall in love,
I stood proud like a flame lily.
You captured me with your eyes,
and I fell apart completely.
For the very first time,
girl, I saw you.
Completely and entirely,
I lost myself that very day.
Only once,
I asked for just one thing.
Along with my own life,
I made you one with me today.
Haa... aaaa... re... ee...
Haa... aaa... aaaa... aa...
Thadhaari ri ri naa
Udhara re re naa
Thadhaari ri ri naa
Udhara re re naa... naane naa...
Aaaa... aaa... aaa...
Oh blossoming beauty, oh gorgeous girl,
come out and meet me.
Holding you close by your waist,
I will soar high—come, my sweet parrot!
Haa... aaa
If you just tell me to come,
I will follow you anywhere, all alone.
Be it a bed of thorns or outer space,
I will walk along your path.
Even when you didn't see me,
and without losing your sweet smile,
you stood by me every day,
and you won my heart.
For you to scold me
day after day,
what wrong did I ever do?
...
Without seeing you all day long,
my longing climbs higher and higher.
Without any interruptions,
I want a sweet night with you.
Only after you came into my life,
did it have so much meaning.
To fulfill your every desire,
my passion exceeds all limits.
What if we entwine our fingers?
What if I ask for what comes next?
What if we settle our playful scores?
What if I test your sweetness?
I may be a guardian of the law,
yet I have come to steal your heart!
Haa... aaa...
Hmmm... mmm...
For the very first time,
my love, I saw you.
As my true destination in life,
I accepted you that very day.
Only once,
I asked for just one thing.
Along with my own life,
I made you one with me today.
Oho... oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oho... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
