Female: ...
There is a silent language
Male: And four eyes to speak it
Female: A first glance
Male: A first word
Female: Once spoken, it grows on its own
There is a silent language
Male: And four eyes to speak it
Did rosy lips and a moonlit face become a woman?
I must come to touch, cradle, and adore you
Did rosy lips and a moonlit face become a woman?
I must come to touch, cradle, and adore you
Let a little time pass
Let the heart gather courage, and then
Let millions of new songs be born
Covered by flower-adorned hair
Female: A woman's beauty will come looking for you
Male: The joy it brings is worth a fortune
There is a silent language
Male: And four eyes to speak it
As the sari pallu flutters, is that waist swaying like a thread?
Will it give me a little room to dance gently?
As the sari pallu flutters, is that waist swaying like a thread?
Will it give me a little room to dance gently?
With the woman offering one half
And her king offering the other
We can settle into each other's lap and play
That golden world will always be here
Female: Just say the word, and it will arrive today
Male: Starting today, it will last forever
There is a silent language
Male: And four eyes to speak it
