Mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmmm... mmm...
A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
A dream that the eyes... long for,
A question within... the heart...
As fingernails trace,
Tell me the way,
To reach your body,
Why is there a need for permission?
An endless stretch of time
With you is all I need,
Only through days that never fade
Do I want to live.
An unchanging desire
Rises endlessly within me,
Without caring about the time or day,
I want to lean on your shoulder.
Oh Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Inside me, an earthquake
You have created, girl.
Oh Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
You have uprooted me
Completely, girl.
A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
Male: If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
Female: If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
Surrounding us like an ocean,
This is a home made of love.
Just like a single soul,
This is the nest where we live.
Surrounding us like an ocean,
This is a home made of love.
Just like a single soul,
This is the nest where we live.
Oh, like rain from the distant sky,
Happiness
Always pours down inside our home.
With an affection that knows no lows,
Filled with deep caring here,
Even the breeze plays a lullaby.
We have no other needs
In order to live our life.
Male: We live in love,
As our happiness multiplies.
I am Saayaali,
I am Saayaali,
Inside me, an earthquake
You have created.
I am Saayaali,
I am Saayaali,
You have uprooted me
Completely.
A single moment without you
Is like burning in a fire.
For you to stay by my side,
Give me an idea too.
I become a waning moon
Whenever you go far away.
Come, let us take a stroll
At this moment of our union.
In the shower of my gaze,
The way your reflection crosses boundaries...
Is it perhaps
Just to make me surrender?
Upon this heart of glass,
The heavy weight of your love...
Is it perhaps
To shatter my heart into pieces?
Why delay any longer?
Come, let us live together now.
Before our days run out,
Let us unite and live our life.
I am Saayaali,
I am Saayaali,
Inside me, an earthquake
You have created.
I am Saayaali,
I am Saayaali,
You have uprooted me
Completely.
Aah... aah... aah... aa...
Male: A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
A dream that the eyes long for,
A question within the heart...
If you come along with me,
Is that what joy is?
Saayaali,
Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Saayaali,
Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Saayaali,
Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
Oh Saayaali,
I will come, my Saayaali...
