Just looking at you, my king, is enough,
My cheeks glow bright like milk.
Male: La la la-la
Female: Like roses, jasmines, and chrysanthemums,
A rich floral fragrance fills the air.
Male: La la la-la
The golden yellow of the aavaram flower
Plays tenderly upon your beauty!
Your eyes are like evening blossoms,
And like a bright chrysanthemum,
A smile spills softly from
The sweet joy overflowing on your lovely red lips!
Just looking at you, my king, is enough,
My cheeks glow bright like milk.
Male: La la la-la
Female: Like roses, jasmines, and chrysanthemums,
A rich floral fragrance fills the air.
Male: La la la-la
Aren't your smiles and respect the flowers you gifted me?
Male: Aren't your calls and embraces the garland you gave me?
Female: Aren't your smiles and respect the flowers you gifted me?
Male: Aren't your calls and embraces the garland you gave me?
Whenever I see a flower garden in the morning,
It is only you that I see in it!
Just looking at you, my king, is enough,
My cheeks glow bright like milk.
Male: La la la-la
Female: Like roses, jasmines, and chrysanthemums,
A rich floral fragrance fills the air.
Male: La la la-la
The sweet nectar trembling on your lips,
If you give me just a taste,
Female: If you give and take, sharing our love,
And swim in that pleasure,
A flood of joy will surge through the heart,
Your shapely figure is like a golden platter!
Just looking at you, my king, is enough,
My cheeks glow bright like milk.
Male: La la la-la
Female: Like roses, jasmines, and chrysanthemums,
A rich floral fragrance fills the air.
