Aha, mmm, la la la la la la la...
The sweet mango is drenched in a shower of honey,
Milk poured down, and youthful longing felt soothed.
Aha, aha, aha, ahahaha...
The sweet mango is drenched in a shower of honey,
Milk poured down, and youthful longing felt soothed.
My soft eyes swoon in a daze,
My racing heart surges with excitement,
A thousand restless thoughts rush through my mind.
The sweet mango is drenched in a shower of honey,
Milk poured down, and youthful longing felt soothed.
Taking the fragrance of a sandalwood grove,
Mixing the golden hue of marigold flowers,
True womanhood comes to life before our eyes.
Taking the fragrance of a sandalwood grove,
Mixing the golden hue of marigold flowers,
True womanhood comes to life before our eyes.
With eyes steeped in playful hints,
Curious questions arise when she asks.
Adjusting her clothes with a touch of modesty,
If she smiles gently, what thoughts will cross the mind?
Aaa ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahahaha...
The sweet mango is drenched in a shower of honey,
Milk poured down, and youthful longing felt soothed.
Draping her flower-woven hair like peacock feathers across her body,
Shaping a sweet smile on her lovely cheeks,
Modesty blooms with every step she takes.
Draping her flower-woven hair like peacock feathers across her body,
Shaping a sweet smile on her lovely cheeks,
Modesty blooms with every step she takes.
Like the golden temple pinnacle and the Karthigai festival lamp,
Both glow radiantly within the heart.
Gathering turmeric and stringing a wedding garland,
What immense joy it would bring to be united in marriage!
Aaa ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahahaha...
The sweet mango is drenched in a shower of honey,
Milk poured down, and youthful longing felt soothed.
Aha, mmm, la la la la la la la...
