Chorus :Oh yeh …oh yeh
Oh yeh…oh hh…..
Oh yeh …oh yeh
Oh yeh…oh hh…..
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
O flower that gives an electric shock!
O chocolate moon!
To speak by offering flowers,
O beauty in full bloom!
You are enough, you are enough,
what else do I need?
Give me all your love without holding anything back!
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
The flower that gives a shock,
the chocolate moon,
to speak by offering flowers,
what a beauty in bloom!
Scorching womanhood...
Before the midday sun rose,
I searched and searched,
did the cool white moon turn into the blazing sun?
An ocean of milk where pearls are gathered,
this flower-like body trembling in longing...
I sank and immersed completely,
won't both our bodies
float and swim like boats?
The ache of the flowers...
once the honeybee touches, its fate will change!
The gentle night breeze...
without a woman's touch, it will flare up with rage!
Shut the windows at once,
and show me the peaks of bliss!
O flower that gives an electric shock!
O chocolate moon!
To speak by offering flowers,
O beauty in full bloom!
The kumkum (sacred red powder) worn,
stuck onto my chest!
On the chest, on the chest!
Did the sandalwood and kumkum
blend together into one?
Fresh green jasmine buds
stuck to the bed!
On the bed, on the bed!
Has the bed now become
a flower garden?
Out of thousands of women,
you alone stole my heart!
Morning and evening,
a desire that burns like fire,
you gave it to me!
Turn past the page of shyness,
show me heaven in a kiss!
The painted floral saree
wrapped around you,
and your pearl necklace scorched me!
You are enough, you are enough,
what else do I need?
Give me all your love without holding anything back!
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
O flower that gives an electric shock!
O chocolate moon!
To speak by offering flowers,
O beauty in full bloom!
Chorus: Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
Oh yeah... oh yeah
Oh yeah... oh hh...
