Hold on, hold on, mister!
Come on girl, let us go all out!
I am losing my breath, mister!
Why negotiate now, girl?

Trapped in your overwhelming beauty,
I am caught and yearning for you!
Do not push away this humble, devoted fan!
Hey, tie the thali (sacred marriage thread), tie the thali!
Until you tie it, keep your hands to yourself!
Until then, do not torment me!
Do not pierce me with your eyes!
Do not trap and corner me!
Shall I begin my search hunt for you?
Is it day or is it night?
Should I spare only your shadow?
Hey, is this a daring robbery?
Are you the vault door of the World Bank?
Usually...
Male: Hey girl!
Usually...
Usually, for most people it takes ten months
If master touches, it takes just eight months!
Yes, usually for most people
It takes ten months
If master touches, it takes just eight months!
You gaze right into my eyes,
Female: Hey!
Male: And stir up all my desires!
Female: Chee!
Male: All at once,
Female: Hahahaha
Male: Why do you attack me like this?
Female: Oh, you rascal!
