Male: Ah, so this is what a setup looks like!
Female: Aah... aah... aah...
Male: It looks great, girl!
Female: Haa... haa... aah...
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Haan haan haan haan
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
Like a sapling in the wet muddy field,
like a cool breeze blowing over that sapling...
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
Like a sapling in the wet muddy field,
like a cool breeze blowing over that sapling...
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
You speak with just a wink of your eye,
aiming an arrow or two at me.
You gasp for breath in your dreams,
yearning inside without finding words to speak.
Why, my dear man, in that manner,
should you keep longing in the dead of night?
This sweet mango is as rich as honey,
if you really want it, take it right now!
She has cast away all her fear and come,
leaving everything else in my hands!
Forget about all that and just hold me tight!
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
Hey, like a sapling in the wet muddy field,
like a cool breeze blowing over that sapling...
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
The coconut palm leaves are swaying,
the southern breeze is singing along.
It caresses me gently,
urging me to unite with you.
You are nursing your deep desires,
waiting eagerly for someone to arrive.
You shower your love so freely,
trying to rope in this sturdy young bull!
What can a simple girl like me do,
when my eyes have completely lost their sleep?
Did a passion rush in? Has your thirst grown so deep?
The moment I see you,
Male: Hey!
Female: I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
Like a sapling in the wet muddy field,
like a cool breeze blowing over that sapling...
The moment I see you,
I feel like singing a song.
The moment I look into your eyes,
I feel like working with all my heart.
