Fragrant screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Fragrant screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Let the song I sing flow with honey everywhere,
Oh, flower draped in a saree,
An island soaked in honey,
My love, my love, come to me,
Fragrant screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Let the song I sing flow with honey everywhere,
...
Lips like coral scatter pearls of smiles,
Chorus: La la la
Male: A tender mouth plants kisses there every day,
Chorus: La la la
Lips like coral scatter pearls of smiles,
A tender mouth plants kisses there every day,
Eyes that drink me whole,
Eyelashes that beckon like lovely birds,
Curves of passion hidden beneath your dress,
Singing a sweet melody through your eyes,
O lovely screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Let the song I sing flow with honey everywhere,
Oh, flower draped in a saree,
An island soaked in honey,
My love, my love, come to me,
Fragrant screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Let the song I sing flow with honey everywhere,
...
Is your dress made from the night's glowing moon?
Chorus: La la la
Male: Is your radiant body a stage dancing in the twilight?
Chorus: La la la
Is your dress made from the night's glowing moon?
Is your radiant body a stage dancing in the twilight?
Are you a fruit drenched in dew?
Does your waist hold the taste of sweet nectar?
In the evening, two ripe fruits rest upon the shoulder,
And as they lean close, sweet love marks trace the back,
O lovely screwpine flower, keep the beat as I sing,
Let the song I sing flow with honey everywhere,
Oh, flower draped in a saree,
An island soaked in honey,
My love, my love, come to me...
My love, my love, come to me...
