Shall we meet, shall the two of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
He goes along this road,
That boy with a moustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome physique,
He looks just like an apple.
………………………………….
He goes along this road,
That boy with a moustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome physique,
He looks just like an apple.
To which college is it heading,
The half-saree that struck me...
For the first time, fear of love
Is not in my heart.
Shall we meet, shall the two of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
Shall we meet on Neptune, shall we meet?
The breath of love is enough,
Shall both of us live?
He goes along this road,
That boy with a moustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome physique,
He looks just like an apple.
To which college is it heading,
The half-saree that struck me...
For the first time, fear of love
Is not in my heart.
……………………………………
On that Marina beach Male: under a small boat
becoming a shadow, Female: shall we reside?
We can go to Coffee Day Male: play snow bowling
We can fight over the phone Male: join at billiards
If a meeting happens Male: dating will happen now
With a single spoon, the ice cream,
We can eat half and half, when, my dear? ...
Shall we meet, shall the two of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
Shall we meet on Neptune, shall we meet?
The breath of love is enough,
Shall both of us live?
He goes along this road,
That boy with a moustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome physique,
He looks just like an apple.
To which college is it heading,
The half-saree that struck me...
For the first time, fear of love
Is not in my heart.
No one's smile Female: is like yours, my dear
No one's fragrance Female: is like yours, my dear
It turned into an 'alas!', Female: joy is gone
Shame on such thoughts! Female: Pain within laughter
Go away girl, it won't return, Female: once the heart goes, it won't return
Like the mother who gave birth to you,
You give such pain, that is enough...
Shall we meet, shall the two of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
Shall we meet on Neptune, shall we meet?
The breath of love is enough,
Shall both of us live?
He goes along this road,
That boy with a moustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome physique,
He looks just like an apple.
To which college is it heading,
The half-saree that struck me...
For the first time, fear of love
Is not in my heart.
{ Shall we meet, shall the two of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
Shall we meet on Neptune, shall we meet?
The breath of love is enough,
Shall both of us live? } (2)
