Poori, poori, bhel poori!
You pretty pani poori girl!
Grand and lively, full of charm!
Why does love ever need censorship?
Babylon or Maradona,
Whether you go to Paris or Mauritius,
Will the god of love let you go?
If I draw close and lose my shyness,
Will he keep me in his pocket,
Like a cellular phone? Ah... ah... ah...
Poori, poori, bhel poori!
You pretty pani poori girl!
Grand and lively, full of charm!
Why does love ever need censorship?
Ye hey, ye hey, yey!
Ye hey, ye hey, yey!
Hey, hey, hey...
Ye, ye, yey...
Where is even more pleasure
hidden here? Tell me, tell me!
Female: It is right here!
Male: Ha!
Female: Where is the beauty mark?
Tell me, tell me!
It is right there!
Female: Aaha!
Hey, I saw it, I saw it!
I saw everything completely!
I am amazed, I am amazed!
Oh goodness, I am totally dazzled!
Don't get swept away so quickly!
Wait a little, don't be restless!
Everywhere my hands touched and grazed,
it smells sweet like honey!
Should you reveal all of that?
Poori, poori, bhel poori!
You pretty pani poori girl!
Grand and lively, full of charm!
Why does love ever need censorship?
Hoya hoya hoya hey... (x3)
What is it that I spin on your navel?
Tell me what is that?
Female: Just a little spinning top!
Male: Haha!
Female: What is it we whisper on the bed every day?
Tell me what is that?
Male: Just the magical spell of love!
Hey, I am studying it, studying it!
Once the mat is spread, I study it!
My heart is pounding, pounding!
Losing my sleep, I am tossing and turning!
Should you be in such a rush?
Male: Aaha!
Female: Should you shoot arrows from your eyes?
Male: Yey!
Female: Only after setting up the wedding tent,
and having the wedding drums
beat loudly...
can we cling close to each other now?
Poori, poori, bhel poori!
You pretty pani poori girl!
Female: Grand and lively, full of charm!
Why does love ever need censorship?
Babylon or Maradona,
Whether you go to Paris or Mauritius,
Will the god of love let you go?
Female: If I draw close and lose my shyness,
Will he keep me in his pocket,
Like a cellular phone? Ah...
Ye hey, poori, poori, bhel poori!
You pretty pani poori girl!
Female: Grand and lively, full of charm!
Male: Ha ha!
Female: Why does love ever need censorship?
