...
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
Let our two gazes sing,
Let both our glances sing... sweet melodies...
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
I lost my sleep, my darling,
my picture-perfect girl!
Love left its imprint on me,
right after you touched me!
I lost my sleep, my darling,
my picture-perfect girl!
Love left its imprint on me,
right after you touched me!
I heard the morning melody,
I saw my golden deer!
I stood there speechless,
and truly blossomed into a woman!
The sweet orders, the touch, and the embrace—
they are not mere imagination!
Finding a tender betel leaf like you
is nothing short of a miracle!
Your touch burned with passion, the silk dress loosened,
must I say the rest...?
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
Let our two gazes sing,
Let both our glances sing... sweet melodies...
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
...
Oh tender jasmine flower,
sing a new, gentle tune!
Upon Valli's slender waist,
play a fresh musical variation!
Oh tender jasmine flower,
sing a new, gentle tune!
Upon Valli's slender waist,
play a fresh musical variation!
This flower-like body cannot bear it,
unless my lord holds it close!
The fire will not cool or subside,
until you come and embrace me!
Closing its eyes upon this woman's body,
witnessing an epic poem of love,
The good deeds of my past bring me to you,
and my heart is joyful today!
Across the earth and up in the sky,
here is a body singing a golden poem!
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
Let our two gazes sing,
Let both our glances sing... sweet melodies...
A heart that looked while pretending not to look,
Jam sa jam jam,
A bed of love made without being laid,
Jam sa jam jam,
...
