Come, come, god of love,
shall I say yes?
You thief of my heart,
come inside and fulfill my dream.
Come, come, beautiful girl,
tell me your age.
Spread the mat, Gauthami,
I'm going to dance to the beat.
In the dead of night, a touch of passion,
will you give it to me?
I'll give you something sweet to do,
will you come a little closer?
With your lips,
set me on fire.
To the very peak,
this rehearsal will take us!
Youth can never bear
starvation like this.
(Both): Come feed my hunger,
come onto the bed!
Na na na na na

Come, come, god of love,
shall I say yes?
You thief of my heart,
come inside and fulfill my dream.
Come, come, beautiful girl,
tell me your age.
Spread the mat, Gauthami,
I'm going to dance to the beat.
That shy pleasure,
that shy pleasure,
will it be found right here?
If you give,
and I receive,
without this give-and-take,
without it here,
can anything happen?
Without it here,
will even this happen?
Will it be found here?
Will it happen here?
Will it be found here?
Will it happen here?
Everywhere in the land of desire,
men play their politics.
If we just live our lives like that,
who else do we need?
A man and a woman are all that is needed!
Who else is needed?
A man and a woman are all that is needed!
Who else?
Come, come, god of love!
(Male): Come, come, beautiful girl!
Come, come, god of love!
(Male): Come, come, beautiful girl!
