Sarang Chai

Intro

Annyeong, suno suno (ha!)

Chai steam, sugar-sparkle, bingsu on the side — oh-oh

Sitar shimmer, synth that slides, hey-ya

(ta-ta-touch) ki-ki-kiss, come close, come close

Verse

Rickshaw rhythms, rooftop neon-free lights

You laugh, I laugh, we trade mango bites

K-pop steps with a dhol in the back (boom-boom)

Mehendi on my hand, glitter on the track

Your jacket smells like cardamom and rain

I hum a hook in hangul, you clap to the tabla strain

Street vendors sing in two languages, bright and loud

We make a tiny parade, just us, just proud

Pre-chorus

Suno, listen — the skyline's doing a shimmy (shimmy)

Saranghae slips out, soft but not timid (not timid)

Heart says dance, feet say go (go)

We mix the spices with the metro glow (glow)

Chorus

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (oh-oh)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (uh-huh)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (repeat)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (dance with me)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (feel the beat)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (we repeat)

Verse

You show me a secret bridge, lanterns sway like swing

I steal a bite of your jalebi, dizzy on the zing

You hum a ballad in Seoul, I hum a Bollywood line

We map the stars with finger paints, color outside the sign

Chai on a scooter, wind plays with your hair

Sitar does a run, synth answers, everywhere

We trade our playlists, samosa for soju (soju)

Two worlds in a wink — look how the skyline grew

Pre-chorus

Suno, listen — feet talk louder than words (louder)

Saranghae tastes like masala in your curd (mmm)

Spin me slow, then spin me fast (spin)

Tonight's a mix tape made to last (to last)

Chorus

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (oh-oh)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (uh-huh)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (repeat)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (dance with me)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (feel the beat)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (we repeat)

Bridge

(wham-bam) clap your hands, dhol meets drum machine

(heyi ya) call my name in two tongues, make it gleam

Oh-oh, ki-ki-kiss, sticky sweet like gulab jamun

Spin again, spin again — we ain't done, we ain't done

Chorus

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (oh-oh)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (uh-huh)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (repeat)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, dance with me (dance with me)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, feel the beat (feel the beat)

Na-na-na, annyeong, pyar pyar (pyar pyar)

Sarang chai, sarang chai, we repeat (we repeat)
