Two pelican birds,
Standing by the Pacific shore,
Practicing Beethoven today,
In minor and major scales!
Akkakohh akkakohh!
A music library today,
Akkakohh akkakohh!
Exists in this slender waist!
Thinking of you as a keyboard,
Shall I place my hands on you?
To show I am no beginner with an 'L' board,
Shall I prove it right here?
...
Two pelican birds,
Standing by the Pacific shore,
Practicing Beethoven today,
In minor and major scales!
Alibaba Alibaba baba!
Alibaba Alibaba baba!
On burning days...
Female: Come on, come on!
Male: O Mississippi River...
Female: Come on, come on!
Male: When your slender waist gently sways,
It is fantastic, fantastic!
A cool, light drizzle...
Male: Come on, come on!
Female: A chill, gentle spray...
Male: Come on, come on!
Female: Like the rains of Cherrapunji,
When we unite, it is cool, cool, cool, cool!
From April all the way
Until June, it is summer,
Once you come near me,
Even summer days turn into winter!
Every day spent without you
Feels just like a villain!
Won't the gentle breeze lay its hands
Upon this slender beauty?
At that moment, I am like the hero MGR,
Show me the villain Nambiyar who dares to touch you!
Look at my swagger right there,
I will stand as a shield to protect your honor!
Two pelican birds,
Standing by the Pacific shore,
Practicing Beethoven today,
In minor and major scales!
...
The doorway of your lips...
Female: Come on, come on!
Male: Open Sesame...
Female: Come on, come on!
Male: Grant me the sweet nectar,
The honey, honey, honey inside!
Oh Alibaba...
Male: Come on, come on!
Female: This is all for you, darling...
Male: Come on, come on!
Female: Have a blast, my king! Why all these questions,
Why, why, why, why?
Like a cell phone,
I will hold you close to my ear!
Like a laptop,
I will keep you resting on my lap!
Hey Krishna, if your Radha
Were to see your playful games,
If she saw them, goodness,
Wouldn't she be completely enchanted?
Hey charming beauty of Cupid,
You flash a magical smile!
You do something crazy to me,
You weave me right into your braids!
Two pelican birds,
Standing by the Pacific shore,
Practicing Beethoven today,
In minor and major scales!
Akkakohh akkakohh!
A music library today,
Akkakohh akkakohh!
Exists in this slender waist!
Thinking of you as a keyboard,
Shall I place my hands on you?
To show I am no beginner with an 'L' board,
Shall I prove it right here?
You are a trumpet for me to play,
Your sides are rhythm drums,
Under my fingers, you are like a veena (string instrument),
Who wouldn't long to strum your music?
