Ah... Aah... Aah... Aa...
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
The clothes wrapped around me slipped away
the moment my lover saw me.
The latch of shyness unlocked
the moment it saw my king.
The blood-red lotus
asks for a kiss;
come, my life, come to me.
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
Ah... Aah...
Aah... Aa... Aah... Aah...
My sweet goddess of arts,
with a body sculpted like a colourful statue,
on our bed it turns into
a blissful pillow to rest my head upon.
You are my beloved king,
and I am your devoted queen.
To adorn every inch of this woman's body,
you are the red henna.
Unopened buds
must burst into blossom.
Female: The southern breeze
must open the doors.
So, do you agree?
Female: Why delay any further?
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
Oh... Oohoo...
Oho... Oooo... Hoo-oo...
When deep sleep arrives,
the mind does not search for a pillow.
A heart that falls in love on its own
does not consult horoscopes.
Once the cloud pours down rain,
the raindrops do not return to the sky.
A woman's heart must surrender to her man;
this destiny will not change.
Behind my name,
you must join yours.
Male: Like the Ganga river entering the ocean,
your colour must merge and change.
Transform me completely,
Male: by pouring your lips into mine.
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
Did the clothes you wore slip away
the moment your lover saw you?
Did the latch of shyness unlock
the moment it saw the king?
To learn and experience
the true meaning of a kiss,
come, my life, come to me.
Today, the golden man,
striding like a lion,
came closer and closer.
Like a candle burning
at both its ends,
the young woman stood melting.
