Whistling :…………………………
Hey, my girl standing in a saree!
A train is racing by the corner of your lips... hey!
Hey, my girl standing in a saree!
A train is racing right through my heart!
All the time, my heart is full of thoughts of you!
Thoughts of you... thoughts of you!
Hey girl, your sparkle is like a shimmering glass saree!
Your sparkle... your sparkle... hey!
You beautiful, colorful rangoli chariot!
Even if you just brush past me, it feels like pure bliss!
Hey girl, my sweetness is in your juicy Malgova-mango cheeks!
My sweetness... my sweetness!
Your smile puts a spell on my heart and charms me!
Your smile... your smile... hey!
Ah, in such a different way,
are you romancing me?
Are you loving me with such style and sweeping me off my feet?
Ah, in such a different way,
are you romancing me?
Are you loving me with such style and sweeping me off my feet?
Hey girl, born right alongside me
is romance itself!
When it comes to love, I'm always a firecracker!
He slipped so smoothly into my heart,
and honestly, the pallu (saree end) is slipping off my shoulder!
Set to a sweet tune, it enchants me—
your smile... your smile!
Hey girl, my sweetness is in your Malgova-mango cheeks!
My sweetness... my sweetness!
You're the moustached lion, aren't you?
I've gone and stuck to you like chewing gum!
Oh my, thoughts of you are jumping around inside my heart!
Thoughts of you... thoughts of you!
Hey, my girl standing in a saree!
A train is racing right through my heart!
All the time, my heart is full of thoughts of you!
Thoughts of you... thoughts of you!
Aah...
