As your sari serves as an umbrella,
a chilly breeze is blowing, my girl!
As your sari serves as an umbrella,
a chilly breeze is blowing, my girl!
Turn around a little; this body of mine
tingles with shyness when your eyes meet mine!
Ah, turn around a little; this body of mine
tingles with shyness when your eyes meet mine!
I am looking for some help,
and wondering what it could be!
I am looking for some help,
and wondering what it could be!
A heavy shiver and this evening haze,
the two together are tormenting me!
A heavy shiver and this evening haze,
the two together are tormenting me!
The wetness will not dry; oh my, my body is burning like embers!
Male: Mmm, why ask questions about that?
Let us celebrate a ritual of joy!
Nagarthu nagarthudhu nagarthudhu thaanaina... aa...
Thanana naa... aa... aa... thananaa thananaa thananaa
Tharanananaa naa... aa... aa...
Tell me the reason why
the kisses of love feel like fire!
Tell me the reason why
the kisses of love feel like fire!
The moment I saw you,
passion was born in my heart.
Isn't longing a kind of fire too? Ha... aa... aa...
Isn't longing a kind of fire too?
I am looking for some help,
and wondering what it could be, ah!
A heavy shiver and this evening haze,
the two together are tormenting me!
Hunger is consuming me,
so why are you singing songs with me now?
Female: Why question hunger?
Just tell me what you need, my man!
...
Even stones turn into sugar candy
if my darling lover's hand touches them!
Even stones turn into sugar candy
if my darling lover's hand touches them!
Inside your lips, God
has placed delightful honey!
Isn't it honey that sweetens the moment you think of it? Ha!
Isn't it honey that sweetens the moment you think of it? Ha!
As your sari serves as an umbrella,
a chilly breeze is blowing, my girl!
Turn around a little; this body of mine
tingles with shyness when your eyes meet mine!
I do not know how to play an instrument,
I do not know the first thing about music!
Male: Haha, why worry about that? If I touch you,
a sweet melody will rise!
It sings all on its own, and music flows like honey!
It sings all on its own, and music flows like honey!
Male: Regard a violin and a woman
as one and the same, my dear!
The moment you give a kiss, it begins to sing... aa...
The moment you give a kiss, it begins to sing!
I am looking for some help,
and wondering what it could be, ah!
A heavy shiver and this evening haze,
the two together are tormenting me!
As your sari serves as an umbrella,
a chilly breeze is blowing, my girl!
Turn around a little; this body of mine
tingles with shyness when your eyes meet mine!
