A foolish girl keeps hovering around me,
Flashing her golden beauty and eyeing me!
A foolish girl keeps hovering around me,
Flashing her golden beauty and eyeing me!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Two idle eyes of yours
Dance as they brush against my saree!
Aha, beating drums and keeping rhythm, rushing to weave the wedding garland!
Two idle eyes of yours
Dance as they brush against my saree!
Aha, beating drums and keeping rhythm, rushing to weave the wedding garland!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Do you need a companion without getting married? Mmm...
Do you need a companion without getting married?
Would even your eyes offer this on credit?
Male: Would the deer of my own home haggle over a price? Aha!
Would the deer of my own home haggle over a price?
Would she stop me if I embrace her right now?
Even though my aunt's daughter is there to marry,
I lost my senses over you,
A young man drunk on desire for you!
Female: Hold back your words and pour out your desires,
I am a girl who has already given her consent!
Two idle eyes of yours
Dance as they brush against my saree!
Aha, beating drums and keeping rhythm, rushing to weave the wedding garland!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
What is this mark upon your fragrant lips?
Female: Isn't it a gift given by mischievous you?
Male: What is this ache troubling your thread-thin waist?
Female: That is no illness, isn't it just an unripened fruit?
In a love filled with affection,
And between lovers filled with passion,
A little doubt gently rises from deep within.
Arriving that day and leaving that same day,
That doubt only brings
Happiness to this state of love!
A foolish girl keeps hovering around me,
Flashing her golden beauty and eyeing me!
Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Both: Oh eyes, sing your songs of love!
Songs of love, songs of love, songs of love!
