Oh my, what is this naughtiness?
Just like a little child!
A boy will arrive to tame your mischief,
just like a lion cub!
Oh my, what is this naughtiness?
Just like a little child!
A boy will arrive to tame your mischief,
just like a lion cub!
Clever like his father,
he will study the law!
Clever like his father,
he will study the law!
If you stir up trouble, he will catch you,
and punish you! Yes, he will punish you!
Male: Mmm...
Female: Yes, Your Honour!
Oh my, what is this naughtiness?
Just like a little child!
A boy will arrive to tame your mischief,
just like a lion cub!
To strain myself for your whims right now,
I really cannot do that here!
Even talking a little leaves me breathless,
with this heavy belly of mine!
To strain myself for your whims right now,
I really cannot do that here!
Even talking a little leaves me breathless,
with this heavy belly of mine!
From now on, tell me darling, does the baby get
the first priority? Aha, the first priority?
From now on, tell me darling, does the baby get
the first priority?
To look after me, other than you,
there is no one here, no one at all...
I know how to set up the bed on one side,
and rock the cradle on the other!
And to the song you sing in the bedroom,
I know how to dance along!
I know how to set up the bed on one side,
and rock the cradle on the other!
And to the song you sing in the bedroom,
I know how to dance, yes, dance along!
Oh dear, right now with me,
why all this bossiness?
Making you pout and enjoying it
is only a sign of love, aha, a sign of love!
Hoo oh oh oh... hooo oh oh oh...
In this jasmine smile and charming beauty,
desire is born, my dear, aha, desire is born!
In this jasmine smile and charming beauty,
desire is born, my dear!
It yearns to caress your turmeric-bathed body,
it longs to cuddle you, it longs to cuddle!
Why romance now? Drink your coffee,
it has gone cold, it is getting cold!
In the early morning, I must tend to the house,
there is work to be done...
Why romance now? Drink your coffee,
it has gone cold, it is getting cold!
In the early morning, I must tend to the house,
there is work to be done... so much work to be done...
Oh come on, my dear!
Oh my, what is this naughtiness?
Just like a little child!
A boy will arrive to tame your mischief,
just like a lion cub!
Oh dear, right now with me,
why all this bossiness?
Making you pout and enjoying it
is only a sign of love, ah ah, a sign of love!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful duet from the film Justice Gopinath (1978) depicts the loving banter between a husband and his pregnant wife. The wife affectionately teases her husband about his playful, childlike nature, warning him that their unborn child—a lion cub who will follow in his lawyer father's footsteps—will soon keep him in line. She explains her physical tiredness due to pregnancy and reminds him of early morning household responsibilities, gently urging him to drink his coffee before it turns cold.
