My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
When the stars fall asleep,
I will sleep upon your shoulder.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
The moment I speak your name,
I am filled with joy.
Just like when an umbrella is forgotten,
and the rain pours down,
inside my heart,
a gentle spray of love is falling.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
When the stars fall asleep,
I will sleep upon your shoulder.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
The moment I speak your name,
I am filled with joy.
O girl like a painting, with your brush,
you captured me, the sun itself.
Female: Even if they are mighty mountains,
jasmine flowers can break them down.
Because it carries you every day,
does the earth spin around intoxicated?
Female: Because my heart thinks of you,
does this sweet dizziness arise?
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
When the stars fall asleep,
I will sleep upon your shoulder.
...
I was just a piece of firewood;
sculpting me with your lips,
you play me like a flute.
My beautiful one, you are
a magical lamp;
when embraced, you burn bright.
The windows of love are our eyes,
and through them, you give me a fever.
Male: By simply tossing your saree,
you capture a lion.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
Male: When the stars fall asleep,
I will sleep upon your shoulder.
Female: My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
Male: The moment I speak your name,
Female: I am filled with joy.
Just like when an umbrella is forgotten,
and the rain pours down,
inside my heart,
a gentle spray of love is falling.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
When the stars fall asleep,
I will sleep upon your shoulder.
My wondrous one, my wondrous one,
The moment I speak your name,
I am filled with joy.
