In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
At night, my lovely queen,
Sing me a lullaby upon your warm chest
Come to me every single day
And bathe me in cool rosewater
Are you a sweet piece of halwa
Wearing a little blouse?
Oh, I catch rocket speed the moment I see you!
You are thirst-quenching
Rosewater soda,
An intoxicating zarda beeda (sweet betel leaf)!
Come dance with me, holding waist to waist
A crowd will gather to watch us
Who is there to ever question us?
In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
My love, your broad chest is
The golden swing where I sway
My sweet songbird, my golden flower,
You are the precious garland I wear
As sweet desire sweeps over me,
Your little parrot perches upon your shoulder
Your look teaches bedtime lessons,
You are an evening school for love!
Come, let us wander everywhere together,
Wherever we go, a festive mood begins,
This is truly our wonderful time!
In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
My mind feels dizzy with longing
My heart races to get close, durra!
Something strange is happening
My youth is restless, durra durra!
In the heavy breath I exhale, a kite breaks free
Are butterflies fluttering before my eyes?
