Oh gentle drizzle, should I lean on your shoulder?
Oh my love, should I leap into your arms?
Female: Oh longing heart, will you speak to me face to face?
Oh desire, should I dance through the night?
Male: Oh, this thirst of the evening!
Everything feels like a land of angels!
Hey, is it heads or tails?
Is the path you are taking the right one?
Chirping little parrot, are you coming to leap into my nest?
Male: Hey, are you a statue carved from moonlight?
Are you a loving, gentle rain?
Are you a sweet slice of jackfruit? Are you an endearing mistake?
Oh gentle drizzle, should I lean on your shoulder?
Oh my love, should I leap into your arms?
Female: Oh longing heart, will you speak to me face to face?
Oh desire, should I dance through the night?
Male: Oh, this thirst of the evening!
Everything feels like a land of angels!
The half-sari pleads and puts on a playful show,
Why, oh why, oh why?
Female: Even the shadow of the vine has turned into a painting,
Why, oh why, oh why?
Male: In this moment, let us speak of nothing else we need,
Female: A heavenly palace to live and fulfill every desire!
Bound together till dawn, my love, my heart melted away,
Female: I will steal and drink this never-ending sweetness!
Male: Hey, are you a statue carved from moonlight?
Are you a loving, gentle rain?
Are you a sweet slice of jackfruit? Are you an endearing mistake?
Oh gentle drizzle, should I lean on your shoulder?
Oh my love, should I leap into your arms?
Female: Oh longing heart, will you speak to me face to face?
Oh desire, should I dance through the night?
Male: Oh, this thirst of the evening!
Everything feels like a land of angels!
The lotus in the water has become a bright star,
Oh sweet honey, sweet honey, my honey!
Male: Even the sun god is swept into a whirlwind,
All on his own, all on his own!
Female: Like open pages, each day writes stories of magic,
Male: With your teasing glances, you brushed sweet desire into my senses,
The night arrives to embrace this sweet, sweet burden,
Male: Tender lips meeting on the mat create beautiful poetry!
Is it heads or tails?
Is the path you are taking the right one?
Chirping little parrot, are you coming to leap into my nest?
Male: Hey, are you a statue carved from moonlight?
Are you a loving, gentle rain?
Are you a sweet slice of jackfruit? Are you an endearing mistake?
Oh gentle drizzle, should I lean on your shoulder?
Oh my love, should I leap into your arms?
Female: Oh longing heart, will you speak to me face to face?
Oh desire, should I dance through the night?
Male: Oh, this thirst of the evening!
Everything feels like a land of angels!
Is it heads or tails?
Is the path you are taking the right one?
Chirping little parrot, are you coming to leap into my nest?
Male: Hey, are you a statue carved from moonlight?
Are you a loving, gentle rain?
Are you a sweet slice of jackfruit? Are you an endearing mistake?
