Enchantress, oh enchantress,
She casts her net and walks away!
Enchantress, oh enchantress,
She traps me and walks away!
For some reason, my body is burning, girl!
For some reason, my soul aches, girl!
For some reason, I am losing myself, girl!
Hey, hey, hey, don't cast that kohl spell on me!
Oh charmer, my charming man,
I am going to put a spell on you, boy!
Oh charmer, my charming man,
I am going to show you sweet pleasure, boy!
For some reason, my body is burning, boy!
For some reason, my soul aches, boy!
For some reason, sweet pleasure surges within, boy!
Hey, hey, hey, I will cast my kohl spell on you!
Your body, this body of yours,
I have come to make it my captive!
My soul, this life of mine,
I have given it all to your youth!
At the shop of youth,
You pawned me and walked away!
Driven wild with passion,
You drowned and killed me with your kisses!
Love is always sudden like a sneeze,
And desire is unstoppable like hiccups,
As we embrace tighter and tighter,
My heart just slipped away! Don't cast that spell!
Oh charmer, my charming man,
I am going to put a spell on you, boy!
Oh charmer, my charming man,
I am going to show you sweet pleasure, boy!
This night, this cool night,
Claim it as yours and celebrate!
Your beauty, all your beauty,
Shower it freely and lose yourself!
All across my sari,
Finding new ways of love,
You plucked your sweet flowers!
Casting off your clothes,
You stood surrendering yourself to me!
Make a soft bed upon my chest,
And play against my legs!
All night until dawn, this fast finally ends!
I will cast my kohl spell on you!
Enchantress, oh enchantress,
You cast your net and walk away!
Enchantress, oh enchantress,
You trap me and walk away!
For some reason, my body is burning, girl!
For some reason, my soul aches, girl!
For some reason, I am losing myself, girl!
Hey, hey, hey, don't cast that kohl spell on me!
Oh charmer, my charming man,
I will put my spell on you and go, boy!
Enchantress, oh enchantress,
She traps me and walks away!
