Look at the cooked rice served in the bowl,
It is only for me, Mama, only for me!
Hey, don't try to compete with me,
This handsome mama
Is only for me, only for me—get lost, girl!
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we sing a song together?
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we strike a sweet rhythm?
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Hey, there is no place for you here, make way!
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Hey, you have no rightful claim on him, step aside!
Hey, kabaddi, kabaddi,
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi!
Come on, Mama, shall we sing a song?
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we strike a sweet rhythm?
The cooked rice will stay nice and warm,
It is only for you, only for you!
Hey Rukmani and Bhama! This handsome mama
Is all yours, only for you... haan!
Whenever I lie down on the bed,
My dearest, my thoughts are only of you.
Chew this betel leaf, kiss me, and hold me close,
Don't you dare say no!
If you pull away from me
And keep your distance, my yearning will never calm down.
Don't you like my fresh, youthful charm?
Doesn't your hand ache to reach out and touch me?
Hey, pinching and pulling me in,
Your slender waist like a lily stalk
And the gentle curves on your waist are super!
Calling out to me again and again,
The smile on your little lips,
Your stylish pride and spark are totally super!
Your two round betel-nut eyes
Are playing wicked tricks on me!
Embracing, wrestling, stealing kisses, and nibbling teasingly,
Hey Mama, there is nothing left for her here!
All the beauty has already been taken by her!
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Male: Bring it on!
Female: Hey, there is no place for you here, make way!
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Male: Hey!
Female: Hey, you have no rightful claim on him, step aside!
Hey, kabaddi, kabaddi,
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi!
Come on, Mama, shall we sing a song?
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we strike a sweet rhythm?
Ahaha ohoho yehehe ha ha,
Ahaha ohoho yehehe hahha hahha!
Mama, whenever you smile,
In the dimples that form on your cheeks,
Even the drape of my saree, admiring your charm,
Silently slips away on its own!
Watching you gaze in dazed longing,
My jaggery-sweet youth melts all by itself.
What are you still thinking about?
Hasn't my sweet fragrance reached you here?
Hey, spreading fragrance deep in my heart,
Teasing, cuddling, and tasting so sweet,
Your beauty is truly super!
Your flower-braided hair
And your bright, swaying walk
Are absolutely top-notch!
It slowly wraps around and traps me—
Those arched eyebrows shaped like a bow!
Embracing, wrestling, stealing kisses, and nibbling teasingly,
Come on, Mama,
Shall we sing a song together?
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we strike a sweet rhythm?
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Male: Go on, girl!
Female: Hey, there is no place for you here, make way!
Palingu sadugudu,
Sadugudu, sadugudu!
Male: Hey!
Female: Hey, you have no rightful claim on him, step aside!
Come on, Mama,
Shall we sing a song together?
Hey, come on, Mama,
Shall we strike a sweet rhythm?
