Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
The lush green paddy feels like a soft cotton bed,
Teach me that magic trick of yours!
Did the lively fish leap and splash around?
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
The lush green paddy feels like a soft cotton bed,
Teach me that magic trick of yours!
Did the lively fish leap and splash around?
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
Like two sweet red bananas swaying together,
Can they bounce around here and there?
The fragrant flower breeze, picking this very moment,
Can it tease and pinch here and there?
Even that breeze feels for you,
A desire to embrace, just like mine!
Even that breeze feels for you,
A desire to embrace, just like mine!
Touching there and teasing here,
Making my desires surge and overflow,
Touching there and teasing here,
Making my desires surge and overflow,
That naughty breeze slipped away without saying a word!
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
The lush green paddy feels like a soft cotton bed,
Teach me that magic trick of yours!
Did the lively fish leap and splash around?
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
Holding tight in hand and leaning against the chest,
When we hug, joyful drums start beating!
When your saree drape brushes against this man,
My head spins completely in that moment!
Your sweet smile tortures me; don't kindle a fire in my heart!
Your sweet smile tortures me; don't kindle a fire in my heart!
As ten fingers press their mark and lips whisper for a kiss,
As ten fingers press their mark and lips whisper for a kiss,
I will give you four hundred, and come rock you gently!
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love!
The lush green paddy feels like a soft cotton bed,
Teach me that magic trick of yours!
Did the lively fish leap and splash around?
Along the canal ridges, behind the screen of my saree,
I have tied up my man!
I won't let him go without taking all his love... hey... hey!
