Oh master of all arts!
Oh pristine moon, washed white!
Oh master of all arts!
Oh pristine moon, washed white!
Oh ruler of the South, oh young one!
Oh king of this angel!
When he embraces her youth,
ten fingers will not be enough.
Is she a dream, or a lover?
Is she a wife who teases the heart?
...................
With love in one eye,
and desire in the other eye,
with which eye are you looking at me?
Oh my dear, my dear... ah...
...................
Neither desire nor love
is in my eyes.
Closing my eyes, I see only you.
Oh my beloved, my beloved!
You are distinct, and I am distinct,
yet we shall become a single distinct flower.
Male: Do not try to bend me,
or I will turn into a question mark.
...................
I lived like a statue,
you came to sculpt me.
I will turn back into a rock!
Is this love fair, oh girl, oh girl?
I became a potted plant,
and arrived in the garden.
As you touch my stalk,
I fell into your hands, my dear.
With your lips, my name...
...I want you to utter!
With your fire, my saree...
...must bathe in fire every single day!
...................
Oh master of all arts!
Oh pristine moon, washed white!
Oh ruler of the South, oh young one!
Oh king of this angel!
When you lock me inside a flower,
enough, enough of your playful game!
