In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
Female: Mmm... hmmm... mmm
Male: Wherever your fingers touch,
even gold glitters and shines.
In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
Wherever your fingers touch,
even gold glitters and shines.
Oh oh oh
In the midnight hours,
in the sacred rites of pleasure,
upon these ripe, sweet lips,
you may chant your sacred hymns.
In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
Aaaa... ahaa... aa... aa
Aa.. haa.. aa.... aaaa... aaaa...
A streak of lightning came flashing,
and became a beautiful woman.
Female: Hahaha....
She is like Rathi (goddess of love), her body a flower garden,
lips like emeralds, dripping with sweet nectar.
She is the chariot of Kama (god of love),
a lovely melody spilling pure music.
You crafted such beauty,
oh Lord Brahma, the creator...
In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
Male: Pa pa pa pa
Female: Lala lala
Oh god of love, the nail marks
drawn gently by your hands
Male: Hahaha....
are a sweet tax of joy, the true address of love.
Give in to me a little, every single day.
Like a tender young swan,
welcome me to sleep upon your lap.
Until the break of dawn,
keep whispering my name...
In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
Wherever your fingers touch,
even gold glitters and shines.
Oh oh oh
In the midnight hours,
in the sacred rites of pleasure,
upon these ripe, sweet lips,
you may chant your sacred hymns.
In her eyes, in those sparkling eyes,
is a swan speaking a silent language.
