Like a divine goddess arriving,
Like a distant star arriving,
Arriving like a gentle drizzle,
Arriving like a gentle breeze,
Chorus: She comes, she comes, she comes!
Here she comes, she comes!
Looking at her beauty,
without being utterly dazed,
without swooning at her eyes,
is there any man here?
Chorus: She comes, she comes, she comes!
Male: Hoo hoo hoooo...
Did he gather all the beauty in this world,
and weave it into one,
to create this golden beauty? Hoo...
Chorus: Here she comes, she comes!
Here she comes, she comes!
Male: The queen arrives...
When you touch me with your gaze,
I, a woman, am swept off my feet.
Faltering, I stumble and sway,
I am completely swept away.
As the whole town speaks of my love story,
I too listen to it.
Those I once looked up to from below,
I now see from high above.
As you take my song deep into your heart,
lighting up the eastern sky with beauty,
I, Mastani, danced.
As the whole town speaks of my love story,
I too listen to it.
Those I once looked up to from below,
I now see from high above.
As you take my song deep into your heart,
lighting up the eastern sky with beauty,
I, Mastani, danced.
Faltering, I stumble and sway,
I am completely swept away.
You gave me wounds
across my entire heart.
Chorus: Faltering, stumbling, swaying,
I rush forward helplessly.
To heal me in this moment,
did you become the cure?
Chorus: Celebrating, celebrating, celebrating,
I danced in joy.
You breathed in the fragrance
of my blossom of love.
You breathed in the fragrance
of my blossom of love.
Closing my eyes, closing my eyes, closing my eyes,
Chorus: I ran with closed eyes...
As the whole town speaks of my love story,
I too listen to it.
Lighting up the eastern sky with beauty,
I, Mastani, danced.
Female: Hoo, faltering, I stumble and sway,
I am completely swept away.
As the whole town speaks of my love story,
I too listen to it.
Those I once looked up to from below,
I now see from high above.
As you take my song deep into your heart,
lighting up the eastern sky with beauty,
I, Mastani, danced.
Faltering, I stumble and sway,
I am completely swept away.
She scooped up charm and scattered it around,
she settled into the heart and smiled.
As the heart leaps up and down,
...
Hey beauty, oh hey...
A great queen, oh hey!
In every graceful pose she strikes,
flowers seem to bloom!
She scooped up charm and scattered it around,
she settled into the heart and smiled.
