Desire has sparked...
The man with the moustache...
In just a little while,
He made me blush and shiver...
Uyyaalo, uyyaalo, uyyaalo!
Is this sweet floral fragrance in my heart because of you?
Uyyaalo, uyyaalo, uyyaalo!
Did she drive my heart into a sweet madness?
Uyya laaloo, uyya laaloo!
Are you a river of honey?
With blossoms blooming all over your body,
Are you a golden chariot of flowers?
Uyya laaloo, uyya laaloo!
Are you a rushing wild stream?
On both my cute little cheeks,
Will you give me a kiss?
With eyes as sharp as a shark,
A girl as sweet as moonlit honey,
Slaying me in a single strike,
You light a fire inside me!
Uyya laaloo, uyya laaloo!
Are you a river of honey?
With blossoms blooming all over your body,
Are you a golden chariot of flowers?
Oh... drop by drop,
Pouring you out,
Without leaving anything behind,
Shall I drink you all up?
In rosy patches,
Feeling all shy,
Without holding back,
Shall I bite your cheeks?
Hey, chatterbox girl!
Chorus: Oho!
Male: Hey, chatterbox girl!
Chorus: Oho!
Hey chatterbox, sounding like a drum,
Is it really you?
An untouched place no one thought to reach,
Is it pure honey?
The tree embraced and celebrated by the vine,
Is that you?
Uyya laaloo, uyya laaloo!
Are you a river of honey?
With blossoms blooming all over your body,
Are you a golden chariot of flowers?
Uyya laaloo, uyya laaloo!
Are you a rushing wild stream?
On both my cute little cheeks,
Will you give me a kiss?
Oh... with eyes as sharp as a shark,
A girl as sweet as moonlit honey,
Slaying me in a single strike,
You light a fire inside me!
...
You and I,
Talking together,
Made a sweet pact to kiss,
Did we seal it?
Oh... you and I,
Pressing our cheeks together,
Without any lock,
Did we lock ourselves in love?
Even a tiny speck of desire in my heart,
I tried to hide it!
A million hours of sleep in my eyes,
I lost them all!
Searching for my other half,
I finally caught you!
Dance away...!
Ah, dance, dance!
Dance, dance!
Dance, dance away!
Dance, dance, dance, dance!
Dance, dance away!
Ai la la la la lai!
Lal lal lal lai lal lai!
Ai la la la la lai!
Lal lal lal lai lal lai!
Oh... with eyes as sharp as a shark,
A girl as sweet as moonlit honey,
Slaying me in a single strike,
You light a fire inside me!
...Dhoom!
