You give me such a killer look
Instantly getting me high on love
You startle me and change my path
You make me stammer when I speak
When you stand before me, you make time slow down
In scorching heat, you quench my thirst
You blush red with shyness like chewing betel leaves
But if I come near, you run away
I completely forgot my mother tongue
I got smashed like a shattered coconut
I began floating above the ground
And I flew away...
With your dagger-sharp eyes
You stab my heart and walk away
You show off your magical tricks
And cast your spell on me...
You wicked girl, you threw my mind into chaos
You established your rule in my heart
You give me such a killer look
Instantly getting me high on love
You startle me and change my path
You make me stammer when I speak
By six or seven o'clock
Whose battery runs out
I am not an Android phone, girl
Across seven lifetimes, I will be with you
I am your husband-to-be, girl
Putting even fine paintings to shame
My dear, how do I describe your beauty?
I searched all over the world
There is no girl quite like you
On the WhatsApp of my love
You are my profile picture, girl
I haven't slept all night long
You are putting me through such sweet trouble
You give me such a killer look
Instantly getting me high on love
You startle me and change my path
You make me stammer when I speak
Oh my, she stands right before me
Shining bright like five or six moons
Even if there is a power cut, it does not matter
Her eyes are the power inverter
I am like a shuttlecock, girl
I leaped up high and flew far away
Like getting stuck in tree branches
I am totally trapped with you, girl
When you swing your arms and walk
Even the gentle breeze gets dizzy
Because your flower-like feet touch it
Even the soil goes wild with passion
You give me such a killer look
Instantly getting me high on love
You startle me and change my path
You make me stammer when I speak
When you stand before me, you make time slow down
In scorching heat, you quench my thirst
You blush red with shyness like chewing betel leaves
But if I come near, you run away
