Both :{Love love love love
Love love love love} (2)
A fresh face, a flower-like face,
Two faces meet and become familiar.
We can set a new rhythm,
We can sing a melody of youth.
An epic of love,
Recited through our eyes.
Love, love, love, love...
Love, love, love, love...
A fresh face, a flower-like face,
Two faces meet and become familiar.
We can set a new rhythm,
We can sing a melody of youth.
An epic of love,
Recited through our eyes.
Love, love, love, love...
Love, love, love, love...
Arriving in the west,
As the evening sun begins to fade,
Female: Gently all over the body,
The moist breeze touches.
I am an abode of clouds,
And you are the rising moon!
Female: Morning, evening, and all through the day,
To celebrate the worship of Kama (god of love),
As bees play on the flowers,
Male: As flower clusters sway, let me shower you with kisses!
Female: As our bodies entwine more and more,
What boundless desire this is!
A fresh face, a flower-like face,
Female: Two faces meet and become familiar.
Male: We can set a new rhythm,
Female: We can sing a melody of youth.
Male: An epic of love,
Female: Recited through our eyes.
Male: Love, love, love, love...
Female: Love, love, love, love...
Today, as Parijata flowers
Soak in sweet honey,
Male: The intoxication keeps rising as time goes by,
How do I describe it?
Without you, I am like
A fish without water!
Male: As I wrap around you like clothing,
And dance on your shoulders to my heart's desire,
Joy becomes the music of love!
Female: Oh my, I cannot handle this pace!
Male: My darling, love is overflowing,
Come, come, the peak of passion is here!
A fresh face, a flower-like face,
Male: Two faces meet and become familiar.
Female: We can set a new rhythm,
Male: We can sing a melody of youth.
Female: An epic of love,
Male: Recited through our eyes.
Both: Love, love, love, love...
Love, love, love, love...
