Oh my, I can't control this desire when I look at her,
I couldn't sleep last night!
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Shall we close the doorway to heaven?
...
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?

Oh my, I can't control this desire when I look at her,

Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Hey, oh my... I can't control this desire when I look at her,
Jabba jabba ang ba ba ba...
Do you own four veli (fertile land measures) of lush fields in Thanjavur?
Chorus: La la la
Male: Claim her as your own for a while and shower her with fond affection!
Chorus: La la la
Male: To enjoy the pleasures of youth,
Female: Ah
Male: Spend generously!
Intertwine and hold each other tight,
Female: Ah
Male: Forget yourself completely!
Shall I build a ten-storey tower in the city?
If you sell it off, you'll get ten months of bedded bliss!
Born of a virtuous family—aha, she blushes shyly like a touch-me-not plant!
Can it be told in words, or are you glimpsing heaven?
Know who you are marrying before you exchange wedding garlands!
Oh my, I can't control this desire when I look at her,
I couldn't sleep last night!
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Shall we close the doorway to heaven?

Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Shut up, rippappappa...
Oh my, I can't control this desire when I look at her,
I couldn't sleep last night, thagu thaguthagutha!
...
Do you want to head out and have fun in the evening?
Chorus: La la la
Male: A brand new Maruti car must pull up at the door!
Chorus: La la la
Male: To take a walk along the beach,
Female: Ah
Male: To have a companion by your side on the beach,
Let the breeze rush in,
Hey, reach ultimate bliss!
Sprawling cardamom and coffee estates in Ooty, sir!
If you fool around with a mistress and auction off all your property,
All you will have left is your single gold tooth,
To pawn and weep over at the moneylender's shop!
Know who you are marrying before you exchange wedding garlands!
Oh my, I can't control this desire when I look at her,
I couldn't sleep last night!
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Shall we close the doorway to heaven?
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
Ah, oh my, hey, I can't control this desire when I look at her,
I couldn't sleep last night!
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
...
Shall I search for sweet fruit on her cheek?
Shall I find intoxicating wine in the cup?
Shall I make a place inside her heart?
