Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play!
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Did millions of lightning flashes come searching?
Female: Did a pair of hearts dance and stand still?
Male: Come near, why the shyness, why be shy?
Oh girl, oh girl...
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play...
The bud has bloomed and sweet nectar drips, my love,
Female: Do not lose all restraint, my wild heart will not settle down.
Male: Why the hesitation, my sweet cuckoo bird? Give it as soon as I ask,
Shall I hold you on my lap and rock you gently?
Do not keep touching and nudging, asking for rare honey from high above,
Male: Do not keep walking away, sing a new song!
Female: What is your desire, my king? Come to me with longing,
Caress me like a tender vine, shall we bathe in love?
I am not just gold, I am a lion! Come here, my golden bee,
Female: Why be shy? Let us let go, let the river Ganga flow!
Male: Hey, in this hour of love's duel, the young bull seeks you,
In the bedroom's sacred ritual, we have surrendered to the god of love!
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play...
My lucky sweetheart, shower love on my kohl-lined eyes,
Male: Like a precious golden boy, cradle me gently on your lap.
Female: This young girl cannot sleep, my tender heart cannot bear it,
Shall you touch and cherish me in sweet solitude?
Oh, a rain of passion drizzles, awakening sweet desires,
Female: The gentle breeze comes singing, brushing against my body.
Male: Come along naturally, offer your sweet love freely,
Shall I hold you in my arms and crown you with flowers?
Our soaring hearts fly like little birds, let us sing together!
Male: Touching your soft, silky cheek,
I have found heaven!
Female: Am I not a lively little bird, am I not a pearl-like deer?
Bringing endless joy with every touch,
O Manmathan (god of love), hello, hello!
Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play...
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Hoy, did millions of lightning flashes come searching?
Female: Did a pair of hearts dance and stand still?
Male: Come near, why the shyness, why be shy?
Oh girl, oh girl...
Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play...
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Did millions of lightning flashes come searching?
Female: Did a pair of hearts dance and stand still?
Male: Come near, why the shyness, why be shy?
Oh girl, oh girl...
Sing a song, scoop up the honey,
My heart is gently pinched,
Teach me love, heaven is with us!
Hey village girl, come here, girl,
Gather me close, and silently
Give a kiss, let us run and play... Ha ha ha...
