Ah... ha... ah... ah...
Ah... ha... ah... ha... ah... ah...
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me?
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me?
Sleep has left my eyes, and my slender waist burns,
Again and again, over and over,
In the playful games of Manmatha (the god of love),
An embrace so close it leaves its sweet mark!
Untouched, this pot of honey yearns for you...
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me?
Aah... ha...
A longing unexpressed, a longing even if spoken...
Shall I confess it to you, or win your heart?
In a chariot of red banana wood, in a quiet, lonely place,
Shall I witness it? Come running to me, come seek me out!
Let go of your pride, look at me and take flight,
Come soar across a hundred skies!
As lightning flashes across my garment,
Intoxication rises; amidst the arrows of the love god, am I the moon?
Since blossoming into a woman, I have worn thin as a thread,
Are you still testing me? My body aches with desire!
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses... kiss!
Ah... ha... ah... ah...
Ah... ha... ah... ha... ah... ah...
Scent of javadhu (traditional fragrant paste), aroma of screwpine flowers,
Will honey well up, overflow, and be savored?
In this golden evening, a playful romance untold,
Shall I experience it right before my eyes?
By the flowing brook...
This new, rising feeling grows and grows,
Why this burning thirst, my love?
Touch me like a gentle breeze, sing to me, sing,
Dance with joy, shall I come seeking passion?
Shall I cradle you against my chest?
Shall I hold and pamper you within my saree's fold?
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me?
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me?
Sleep has left my eyes, and my slender waist burns,
Again and again, over and over,
In the playful games of Manmatha (the god of love),
An embrace so close it leaves its sweet mark!
Untouched, this pot of honey yearns for you...
My life, my love, go slowly, gently,
A sweet little whisper, a secret touch,
Oh my, oh my, shall I give or receive,
Kisses, sweet little kisses from me? Ah...
