There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Let the longing heart seek what it wants!
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Let the longing heart seek what it wants!
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Upon the tender, moist
Plantain stem,
Look at the rounded curves nestled and dancing!
Upon the tender, moist
Plantain stem,
Look at the rounded curves nestled and dancing!
Shall I say more?
Wouldn't that make me blush?
For the eyes to enjoy... oh oh oh...
Why do you need a mirror?
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Holding a ruby on a plate of pearls,
Would anyone go searching
And let go of such a precious gem? Ah... ha... ha...
Holding a ruby on a plate of pearls,
Would anyone go searching
And let go of such a precious gem? Ah... ha... ha...
For arms and limbs
To intertwine and softly speak in rhythm,
Is there no time? Ah...
A cup of wine,
And this by your side,
See what this world
Is all about!
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Taking me away
To Ooty or Kodaikanal,
Dancing in delight, on the wild grass
We can make a bed... aah... ha... aaha...
Silken cheeks pressed close,
Brushing gently against each other,
Touching and caressing,
We can thank one another... ah...
Right up to the entrance,
Bargain the price,
And discover what
This life is all about!
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
Let the longing heart seek what it wants... mmm...
There is no time tomorrow,
Come today!
Look at the garden
That has come to dance!
