Hey, come to me, girl,
Step down slowly...
Come and hold me close...
Hey, you naughty girl,
Why give me such trouble?
I'm right here, come hold my hand...
You are pure sweet jaggery,
And I am pure solid gold,
Shall I fix our wedding date?
My beauty... my statue... my pearl...
My flower... you are my lady...
Oh ooh... just for you...
Just for you, only for you, was I born...
Just for you, only for you, I will live...
Just for you, only for you, was I born...
Just for you, only for you, I will live...
I gave my whole heart to you,
Why do you show off such an attitude?
I'm offering you my very life, take it, take it...
Without you, who else do I have?
No need, no need to give your life,
Why do you whine over every little thing?
Will love just happen if you keep chasing?
Male: What obstacle is left to keep us apart?
Girl, you don't really know who I am,
Nor do you understand the love I hold for you,
You won't find anyone better than me,
And even if you do, it won't last.
Girl, you don't really know who I am,
Nor do you understand the love I hold for you,
You won't find anyone better than me,
Even if you do... even if you do... mmm,
It won't last.
Mister, don't try to butter me up,
Don't give me false hopes for nothing,
Don't try to squeeze a truck...
...through the narrow gap of a bicycle.
Hey, don't flatter me,
Don't spill all your lies,
Without drinking even a single drop,
Don't act like you're drunk.
Oh, my soft peacock feather...
To caress and comfort you all through life,
May I come along as your partner?
Hey, you handsome thief...
The three wedding knots...
Who knows who is destined to tie them for me...
To write my own love story,
I too am waiting with longing...
Female: Oh... but as for you getting the hero's role in it,
I'll never let that happen!
Hey, my pretty doll,
Should I go look for someone else then?
Female: Hey, could you ever find a match...
...who is better than me?
That is very doubtful...
Come on, girl...
The charm of your eyes
Plays deceitful tricks on me...
I must take my leave now,
Forgive me if I was at fault,
You saw the king's righteous scepter,
Yet gladly it stepped forward
With a passionate heart...
Who emerged victorious in this sacred quest?
You are my intoxicating divine drink...
Let today pass, I will return tomorrow...
I dove deep underwater and gathered pearls...
The day before too, it was just like this,
Oh, my freshly picked champak flower...
It's getting late, I must go,
Let the singer show off his songs,
Let the whole town gather, applaud, and celebrate,
Yet tonight alone, this burning desire must be quenched,
It must, it must...
Just for you, only for you, was I born...
Female: Just for you, only for you, I will live...
Male: Just for you, only for you, was I born...
Female: Just for you, only for you, I will live...
Male: I will live...
