Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!
Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!
I want to ride a chariot across the blue sky,
And unite as a pair in the realm of Kama (the god of love).
I want to ride a chariot across the blue sky,
And unite as a pair in the realm of Kama (the god of love).
Will that moment never come to us?
Dhukudhu dhukudhuthu
Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!
Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!
The longing in my heart,
To find fulfillment on that bed,
The longing in my heart,
To find fulfillment on that bed,
While I tremble in hesitation,
And you reach the heights of intoxication,
While I tremble in hesitation,
And you reach the heights of intoxication,
The body will ache
In this battle of love we wage,
Yet it will yearn again
When the morning arrives.
Like a mother,
I will sing you a lullaby.
If you act naughty,
I will close off my heart.
Like an innocent child,
Won't you change and hold me close?
Dhukudhu dhukudhuthu
Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!

As my golden, silky body
Withers from the sweet bruises of love,
As my golden, silky body
Withers from the sweet bruises of love,
In this crimson, silky flower,
Your eyes reach out searching for honey,
In this crimson, silky flower,
Your eyes reach out searching for honey.
In the river of love,
I want to dive deep every day.
Even while diving deep,
A new thirst arises every day!
Upon my chest,
As you lock yourself in an embrace,
Right into your ears,
I will sing a melody.
On this chariot of love,
Won't you come to sing a song?
Dhukudhu dhukudhuthu
Oh, evening melody of twilight,
Spilling over as the passion called love!

Spilling over as the passion called love!
