Bumblebee, dark-hued bumblebee
I'm here to meet Sufiya Parvez
What garden do you come from?
Take off your coat
Bumblebee, dark-hued bumblebee
What garden do you come from?
Hurry up and take off your coat
You bring happiness with you
On this wedding night you come bearing gifts
You bring the colour of kohl to ward off the evil eye
From gardens you bring flowers to adorn our lanes
Yes, you bring the colour of kohl to ward off the evil eye
From gardens you bring flowers to adorn our lanes
Come, let's sing in the shadow of the henna tree
Bumblebee!
Let's sway and dance, play music, celebrate
Bumblebee!
Bumblebee, dark-hued bumblebee
What garden do you come from?
The henna has bloomed red like flowers on these fair palms
The henna has bloomed red like flowers on these fair palms
This is the colour of sunlight the colour of shadows
This is not the colour of henna
It's the colour of a mother's blessing
The colour of this henna is true
All others are false
May this colour never fade from your hands
Bumblebee, dark-hued bumblebee
What garden do you come from?
Bearing the wishes of the heart in the palanquin of the moon
This night of henna has come lit by a heavenly light
This night of henna has come
Bearing the wishes of the heart in the palanquin of the moon
This night of henna has come lit by a heavenly light
On the faces of the bride's friends is the glow of dreams
They all asked for blessings which the Lord gladly gave
Is this henna on our hands or the red glow of evening?
Bearing the wishes of the heart in the palanquin of the moon
This night of henna has come lit by a heavenly light
On the faces of the bride's friends is the glow of dreams
They all asked for blessings which the Lord gladly gave
Is this henna on our hands or the red glow of evening?
Bringing the moon and the stars this miraculous night comes
Bumblebee, dark-hued bumblebee
What garden do you come from?
What are you doing here?
You called me, remember?
Me?
Tell me when did l call you?
How long ago?
It was nine or ten years
how quickly you forget
That's a long time
Isn't it?
.. and I said," If we are all in the program, who'll watch??"
Forgive me, Sufi, I'm a little late getting here
Altaaf?
