In the prime of youthful age,
two colourful little birds, my friend!
In the intoxicating trance of dusk,
the heart floats and simmers with passion!
In the prime of youthful age,
two colourful little birds, my friend!
In the intoxicating trance of dusk,
the heart floats and simmers with passion!
Tomorrow, when a handsome man
holds you close in his arms,
like summer rain pouring down,
the warm stream will cool down!
Tomorrow, when a handsome man
holds you close in his arms,
like summer rain pouring down,
the warm stream will cool down!
On that very first night,
in the bedroom of newlyweds,
until the next day arrives,
such sweet passion will be found!
In the prime of youthful age,
La la la la la la
two colourful little birds, my friend!
La la la la la la
In the intoxicating trance of dusk,
Laaa... laaa...
the heart floats and simmers with passion!
A new scene at every passing hour,
in the playful games of youth!
The saree will have nothing to do,
resting quietly in a corner!
A new scene at every passing hour,
in the playful games of youth!
The saree will have nothing to do,
resting quietly in a corner!
Once the lamp is put out,
shyness goes away on holiday,
until the lamp of the east,
the morning sun arrives!
In the prime of youthful age,
La la la aa la la aa
two colourful little birds, my friend!
Aha aa... aahaa...
In the intoxicating trance of dusk,
the heart floats and simmers with passion!

In the prime of youthful age,
