A colorful musical tune comes to play
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
A colorful musical tune comes to play
Seeking a bond of love
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Casting their enchanting net
In the Mandhara flower grove, in this romantic hour
A sweet intoxication lasts till dusk, oh...
Calling out again and again
A colorful musical tune comes to play
Seeking a bond of love
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Casting their enchanting net
In the Mandhara flower grove, in this romantic hour
A sweet intoxication lasts till dusk, oh...
Calling out again and again
Without you by the edge of the grove
Can a garland ever be woven?
If you do not come at the right time
Will this restless longing ever calm down?
With drums and the nadaswaram pipe, oh...
The day will come for us to sing together
My sweet, beautiful love who holds me close
Come, come and teach me of love
As I teach you
Come, come to make a heaven for you
We can unite forever at any time
We were once alone
It was music that brought us together
A colorful musical tune comes to play
Seeking a bond of love
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Casting their enchanting net
In the Mandhara flower grove, in this romantic hour
A sweet intoxication lasts till dusk, oh...
When you and I come together
Do we even need honey and milk?
When the melody and rhythm unite
Is there any need for a stage?
In these moments when no one is around, oh...
Through silent, unspoken gestures
To tell our story of love, my beautiful sweet one
Come, come into the private room
For your lips to taste the sweetest joy
Come, come to give blissful happiness
O temple of joy, I will rest gently on your shoulders
This is our forever from now on
A colorful musical tune comes to play
Seeking a bond of love
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Casting their enchanting net
In the Mandhara flower grove, in this romantic hour
A sweet intoxication lasts till dusk, oh...
Calling out again and again
A colorful musical tune comes to play
Seeking a bond of love
Eyes like dark beetles meet again and again
Casting their enchanting net
In the Mandhara flower grove, in this romantic hour
