My heart leaps and jumps with joy
When you come and stand near me
Oh love, oh love, is love this sweet?
Like a rose softly opening up,
She stole my heart and soul
And I became a bird in the sky...
Why do you hold this pretend anger
against me?
My heart is breaking into two
O river Kaveri, you
have overflowed your banks
Why did you take revenge on me in love?
Oh... hoo... oo
My heart leaps and jumps with joy
When you come and stand near me
Oh love, oh love, is love this sweet?
Like a rose softly opening up,
She stole my heart and soul
And I became a bird in the sky...
Oh.. hoo... oo
Just looking at your nose ring
takes my breath away
If you give me just one kiss,
everything will be alright
Don't look at me with a sidelong glance,
my young heart cannot bear it
Every moment you touch my skin,
don't shock me like electricity
You are my very breath...
Hoo oh... ooo
My heart leaps and jumps with joy
When you come and stand near me
Oh love, oh love, is love this sweet?
Even the harsh summer heat
is not so bad, my girl...
It is your teasing, tender gaze
that scorched and tormented me
Blushing all over with shy modesty,
as drops of sweat trickled down,
I came and stood close by your side
so you could adorn my hair with flowers
Long live the breeze of love!
Hoo oh... ooo
My heart leaps and jumps with joy
When you come and stand near me
Oh love, oh love, is love this sweet?
Like a rose softly opening up,
She stole my heart and soul
And I became a bird in the sky...
Why do you hold this pretend anger
against me?
My heart is breaking into two
O river Kaveri, you
have overflowed your banks
Why did you take revenge on me in love?
Oh... hoo... oo
My heart leaps and jumps with joy
When you come and stand near me
Oh love, oh love, is love this sweet?
Like a rose softly opening up,
She stole my heart and soul
And I became a bird in the sky...
