You... dazzle me
You sweep me off my feet, you carry me away
I... fall apart
In a split second, I melt away
Like a string of firecrackers
I burst to pieces because of you
Bold and dashing, you
Look so charming right before me
Leaving me breathless
You take full control of my space
Stopping me in my tracks
You come and take a seat in my heart
Ba-pa-pa-paa, don't look at me
Tha-tha-thaa, don't strike me
Your glance pecks away at me
Without the wedding pipes blowing
Without the festive music playing
My heart runs circles around you
Oh... with your black and white
Eyes alone
Oh... you display vibrant colorful patterns
Oh... because you looked, I was lost
Oh... and I wandered, longing for your look
As that single moment of your touch
Lingers on without moving
My heart feels so sweet now
Even without any adornment
I am turning beautiful
My fear is slowly turning into shyness
Oh... there is no voice
In my words
Oh... battles rage within my breath
Oh... there is no logic in how I act
Oh... and I have no wish to figure it out
The thoughts of you here
Just like a woodpecker
Peck deep into my soul
Never defeated by anyone
Even my pride as a woman
Longs to surrender to you
Ba-pa-pa-paa, don't look at me
Tha-tha-thaa, don't strike me
Your glance pecks away at me
Without the wedding pipes blowing
Without the festive music playing
My heart runs circles around you
Nanna naana naanaanaa
Naana naana naanaanaa
Naana naana naana naana naa
Nanna naana naanaanaa
Naana naana naanaanaa
Naana naana naana naana naa
