{My love, my love,
Sunday after Sunday,
Aha, my love, my love,
Sunday after Sunday}
Place it, my king, place it,
Put your right hand here.
Do it, my king, do it,
Do all your loving service.
The entire universe is an illusion,
In it, only man and woman are real.
Bhajan, bhajan, love's chant,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Bhajan, bhajan, chant of the god of desire,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Do it, my queen, do it,
Do all your loving service.
The world we see is an illusion,
The pleasure in our bed is real.
...
Chorus: Bhajan, bhajan, love's chant,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Bhajan, bhajan, chant of the god of desire,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
My love, my love,

Aha, my love, my love,

Tingle, tingle, tingle, tingle, tingle, tingle,
There is a restless tingle inside.
Male: Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva,
Your blushing cheeks are calling out to me.
Boil, boil, boil... bubbling hot,
My boiling blood surges with heat.
Male: Urging me to lie down, lie down, lie down,
The bed is tormenting me.
Oh dear, upon this bed,
Desire is thrashing all over me.
Oh my, upon my face,
Even a mustache seems to sprout!
Like the spotted dove and the pigeon,
Mating together inside the nest,
For hours on end, you and I
Will unite beneath a single blanket.
Bhajan, bhajan, love's chant,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Bhajan, bhajan, chant of the god of desire,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Place it, my king, place it,
Put your right hand here.
The entire universe is an illusion,
In it, only man and woman are real.
{Umba umba umba… umba
Umba umba... um
Umba umba umba… umba
Umba umba... um}
...
Embracing with a cool touch,
Caressing both ears,
My charming lady playfully kills me with love.
Male: A bird of sweet pleasures, a delicious waterfall,
A holy ascetic shedding her clothes one by one.
Like the spotted dove and the pigeon,
Pecking at each other as they mate,
The spirit of passion that has awakened,
Let us trap inside a bottle.
Male: Aaha... aa...
Bhajan, bhajan, love's chant,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Female: Hey eh...
Chorus: Bhajan, bhajan, chant of the god of desire,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Place it, my king, place it,
Put your right hand here.
Male: Do it, my queen, do it,
Do all your loving service.
Female: The entire universe is an illusion,
In it, only man and woman are real.
Bhajan, bhajan, love's chant,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
Bhajan, bhajan, chant of the god of desire,
Sing the bhajan, bhajan bhajan.
...
My love, my love,
Sunday after Sunday,
Aha, my love, my love,
Sunday after Sunday.
