If not be randy, not be a lover

Beau beckoned me,
‘Let’s exchange our lips.’
I said, ‘It will not be exchanged of Corona’.
She said, ‘A true lover is never afraid of AIDS;
there, Corona is so simple ‘!
I said, ‘You urged me to be randy.
But I want to be only a lover.’
She replied ‘Unless a man be randy, he can’t be a lover.

Kiss

If you not find me,
Don’t file a general diary,
Don’t run after police, RAB, PBI.
Instead, go and look for me by the canal,
In the sewer or under the water hyacinth.
I don’t want to be an unknown corpse.
Before destroying my face by the dogs,
Find out my unharmed body
Because my ladylove’s kiss on this face.

The Sound of Rain-Soaked Bangles

Believe me I didn’t love you
I fell in love of your rain soaked bangles
That were hanging on the balcony.
I got seriously mad
After seeing the sweaty chin.
Really believe me
I never fell in love with you
I’m just entangled
In your rain-soaked hair.
Now I forgot my road
After hearing your anklet’s sound.
Trust me, I didn’t not love you little ;
Just I have fell in love
With the beauty of your lipstick.
