Aha ha ha ha
Aha ha ha ha ha
Young girl, young girl,
come to the temple...
come to the temple.
Inside the heart, inside the heart,
love has blossomed...
love has blossomed...
With the nadaswaram (traditional wind pipe) playing ahead,
with the nadaswaram playing ahead,
and you and I walking behind it,
joining together as one!
Young girl, young girl,
come to the temple...
come to the temple.
Inside the heart, inside the heart,
love has blossomed...
love has blossomed...
Thinking of you,
how my heart fluttered—
who could ever describe it?
That in a young heart,
love has been born,
time itself will tell.
What I was about to say,
how did you say it first,
my gentle deer?
Feeling the same over there and here,
being together as one,
isn't that what true love is?
My heart is wandering all around,
who made it spin like this?
Circling around and singing,
it is your name, my darling!
Speaking sweet words,
my little parrot,
weaving a net with your words,
in the sweet trap you set,
did I get caught willingly?
Young girl, young girl,
come to the temple...
come to the temple.
Inside the heart, inside the heart,
love has blossomed...
love has blossomed...
For my precious jewel,
crafting ornaments of pure gold,
I must adorn your ears.
With glowing firefly blossoms,
stringing a radiant garland,
I must place it on your shoulders.
"Now that this golden flower
has become your own,
what else do you desire?"
When the moon rises,
upon your sandalwood chest,
I just want to lean and rest.
Stealing in through the eyes,
who reached straight into my heart?
In every spoken word and song,
who is it that fills it completely?
My beloved king,
the one who offered your lap to hold me...
At the hour when the evening lamp opens its eyes,
the flame of endless love,
I have lit it just for you!
Young girl, young girl,
come to the temple...
come to the temple.
Inside the heart, inside the heart,
love has blossomed...
love has blossomed...
With the nadaswaram (traditional wind pipe) playing ahead,
with the nadaswaram playing ahead,
and you and I walking behind it,
joining together as one!
Young girl, young girl,
come to the temple...
come to the temple.
Inside the heart, inside the heart,
love has blossomed...
love has blossomed...
