My name is Fatima!

I am searching and yearning for you,
My heart weeps and longs for you,
I think only of you!
Ho ho ho ho ho hoy...

Hey, beauty of the Ooty hills,
What is your name, girl?
Female: That's the way to ask, mister!
My name is Fatima!
When you put on high heels
and walk with style,
just like slippery toothpaste,
look how my heart skids every day!
Hey...
When you put on high heels
and walk with style,
just like slippery toothpaste,
look how my heart skids every day!
Hey, between a man and a woman,
everything is fifty-fifty!
Aren't you right now
my university of love?
Deep inside my heart,
twilight is running wild!
Female: I'm just a young girl,
so take it easy on me!
Ah, without any limit,
my desire has gotten caught!
My heart has started to hiccup!
Ho ho ho ho hoy hoy...
Hoo... ooh Hoo... ooh
Hoo... ooh Hoo... ooh
Beauty of the Ooty hills,
What is your name, girl?
Female: That's the way to ask, mister!
My name is Fatima!
Hai hai hai hai
Hai hai hai hai
Looking at your sizzling tandoori-hot body,
my heart is tossed about!
Stitching me up and tearing me apart,
your blooming youth does this to me!
Ha ha
Looking at your sizzling tandoori-hot body,
my heart is tossed about!
Stitching me up and tearing me apart,
your blooming youth does this to me!
I was born in Ooty,
a brand-new fresh rose!
Whenever you look at me,
my blouse shrinks tight!
Hey Chinthamani (precious jewel),
it is already ten o'clock!
Female: Without letting a single one drop,
you must string these pearls together!
You stir me all up,
you whistle with your eyes,
and you beat a thavil (temple drum) in my heart!
Ho ho ho ho hoy hoy hoy
Hoo... ooh Hoo... ooh
Hoo... ooh Hoo... ooh
Beauty of the Ooty hills,
