This is what I want

Eito Aami Chaai - This is what I want

Sthayee
This is what I want, gold dust all over me,
Stretch out your hand next moment, it’s not there –
Some other time, morning wraps around me
sounds awaken yarn of time, all woven, gets over,
So are the number of days – all counted.

Antara 1
Let’s play like this, call me by whatever name you feel like
When grass touches your feet, why do you shut your eyes?
I, too, am getting trapped in tender caress… oh no!

Antara 2
Let’s return now, hedged into narrow lanes,
In the commotion I lift my face
What should I say to you?
I, too, am getting trapped in tender caress… oh no!
