-
Will the rain of kisses not pour down here?
-
Will the jasmine nights not burn through the fear?
-
Jaano! Drums go dum-dum
-
Here, heaven lies in your palm
-
A cruel night, an unspoken bond
-
My breath seeks one who may not belong
-
By sight? By me? By this woman?
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
In a morning dream, I fell in love
-
I opened my eyes — he was gone above
-
I opened my eyes — he was gone above
-
I opened my eyes — he was gone above
-
Until I unite you and me as one
-
Nothing I do can ease this pain done
-
Oh eyes, my eyes — is it just my gaze?
-
Did you see the love that in me stays?
-
With a dark stare you looked deep
-
But stood there lying, calm and sweet
-
Did you leave saying, “Enough, enough”?
-
Love comes and goes —
-
What will a woman do, tough?
-
Will the rain of kisses not pour down here?
-
Will the jasmine nights not burn through the fear?
-
Jaano! Drums go dum-dum
-
Here, heaven lies in your palm
-
Oh, like a grove’s shade on desert sand
-
I’ll speak of love — I’ll speak of love again
-
In the snowy mist of longing's veil
-
I’ll speak of love into your ear’s trail
-
I am the lover, you the beloved
-
All else is just a mask I discarded
-
A mask, I’ll say — nothing but disguise
-
You are my time — eternal and wise
-
If this death itself comes near, I’ll rise
-
Another sun, and many stars
-
But lightning shall not strike the earth hard
-
Lightning shall not strike the earth hard
-
Love comes and goes —
-
What will a woman do?
-
Just once more,
-
Shall I tell my story too?
-
Say it, say it, say it, say it
-
Say it, say it, say it, say it
-
Till it reaches your ears,
-
Shall I sing my love to you? (Shall I sing?)
-
Jaano! Drums go dum-dum
-
Here, heaven lies in your palm
-
A cruel night, an unspoken bond
-
My breath seeks one who may not belong
-
By sight? By me? By this woman?
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
My story still waits to be told
-
