Tell me, groom,
what is on your mind?
Mm hmm ha ha ha ha ha
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
Aha..
Tell me, groom,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
A young girl like a lily bud,
a charming little bird,
touching the eyes, oh my,
touching the heart...
touching the heart, touching the soul,
touching the left and touching the right...
Tell me, groom,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here

Female: Mm hum..
Tell me, young lady,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
In age, a jasmine bud,
with youth built like a young bull,
touching the eyes, oh my,
touching the heart, touching the soul,
touching the left and touching the right...
Tell me, young lady,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
If those two lotus feet
wear jingling anklets,
will their midnight sound turn into music?
And that rhythm,
will you enjoy it happily?
If those two lotus feet
wear jingling anklets,
will their midnight sound turn into music?
And that rhythm,
will you enjoy it happily?
To match that rhythm,
I was born to dance!
To match that rhythm,
I was born to dance!
You were born to set the rhythm,
is there any doubt?
I too added some sweet twirls,
are you happy?
Making a bed of grass,
aha,
spreading a mattress of flowers on top,
aha,
so wonderfully
God has arranged it!
Let it happen, let it happen,
let it stay just between us!
Tell me, young lady,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
The hen belongs to the rooster,
the cuckoo belongs to its mate,
a woman belongs to a man
since time immemorial,
and we formed a eager bond
in recent days!

since time immemorial,
and we formed a eager bond

Seeing your palanquin-like body,
seeing your glowing cheeks,
seeing your palanquin-like body,
seeing your glowing cheeks,
could I just sit still?
Isn't that right, dear?
To take me into heaven,
will you come along?
I am brand new to all this, my man,
Mm mm,
and young in age, my man,
aha..
If you teach me a little,
I will walk, I will smile,
I will embrace, I will enjoy!
Tell me, young lady,
what is on your mind?
What did you see here
to make you smile like this?
