Hmm…mm…..mmm….mmm…
Hmm…mm…..mmm….mmm…
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
A cool breeze is laughing softly,
and a warm rain is pouring down.
My heart flutters wildly and takes flight, girl!
My heart yearns, pleading, 'Touch me, touch me!'
My age holds me back, saying, 'Let go, let go!'
A crazy love grips me tight and drives me mad!
Listen girl, I have a womb of my own,
and today, I carry you within it.
Just because I touched you,
I flew straight up into the sky.
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
Climbing to the very top of my head,
standing there on one foot,
don't ask me to read the lines on the sole of your foot!
Don't strike sparks off me with your flintstone eyes!
All of my pillowcases
look just like your half-saree!
Whether I sleep or toss and turn, I only see your face, girl!
Love is overflowing from my eyes, ears, nose, and tongue!
Like a dried coconut shell,
I was lying face down on the floor.
Chorus: Mmm... mmm... mm... mmm...
Male: Like a dried coconut shell,
I was lying face down on the floor.
Once I knew that you were mine,
I rose up tall like a temple tower!
I too soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
A cool breeze is laughing softly,
and a warm rain is pouring down.
My heart flutters wildly and takes flight, girl!
My heart yearns, pleading, 'Touch me, touch me!'
My age holds me back, saying, 'Let go, let go!'
A crazy love grips me tight and drives me mad!
Mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
I was sitting quietly like camphor,
and the instant you touched me, I burst into flames!
It has been so long since I tore out my life and gave it to you.
Skipping food and tormenting my body, my heart has worn thin.
Just because your glance brushed against me,
I transformed into someone handsome!
Your breath hit me, and my speech got choked up, girl!
With my words gone silent, a fever is raging in me, girl!
O little parrot of the neem pond,
O chisel that broke open my youthful heart!
O my little parrot of the neem pond,
O chisel that broke open my youthful heart!
Look at my state, girl! Come running outside!
Because of you, I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
A cool breeze is laughing softly,
and a warm rain is pouring down.
My heart flutters wildly and takes flight, girl!
My heart yearns, pleading, 'Touch me, touch me!'
My age holds me back, saying, 'Let go, let go!'
A crazy love grips me tight and drives me mad!
Listen girl, I have a womb of my own,
and today, I carry you within it.
Just because I touched you,
I flew straight up into the sky.
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
I soared higher, higher, and higher,
crashed into the moon, and tumbled back down!
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
