Hey doll-like girls playing with the ball,
You roses who come and dance before us,
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Hey doll-like girls playing with the ball,
You roses who come and dance before us,
Looking delicious like almonds and cashews,
Oh beautiful, gorgeous girl,
When you appear in my dreams every night,
My heart just cannot bear it!
Oh slender girl wearing thick soda-bottle glasses,
Oh slender girl wearing thick soda-bottle glasses,
Are you a garland preserved in salt, or a golden bead?
If you walk upon this earth, will an earthquake strike?
If goddess Usha forgets me, should I give up my life?
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Mythili from my aunt's house,
Mythili from my aunt's house,
The sweetheart made for my heart,
The sweetheart made for my heart,
Even if she spits at me in disgust, I will never forget that lovely lady!
Even if she scolds me a hundred times, I will never forget her slender waist!
Even if she spits at me in disgust, I will never forget that lovely lady!
Even if she scolds me a hundred times, I will never forget her slender waist!
I bought jasmine flowers for you, Mallika!
I can't get over the spell you cast, Menaka!
Sharmila, pretty Nirmala,
Hoo hoo, Sharmila, pretty Nirmala,
Vanaja, Girija, Thanuja, Jalaja!
Come on, we will check out girls,
And whistle along together!
Come on, we will check out girls,
And whistle along together!
Gomathi with the braided hair, why this anger, my moon-faced girl?
Gomathi with the braided hair, why this anger, my moon-faced girl?
An enchantress with lovely teeth, a goddess of beauty in your gaze!
When I listen to your sweet voice,
Should I tease and call you a donkey?
When I look at your pretty nose,
Should I gently pinch you like a parrot?
Hey doll-like girls playing with the ball,
You roses who come and dance before us,
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Aha, for six or seven days now, Ponnamma,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
Hey Ponnamma, for six or seven days now,
My longing hasn't been satisfied, my dear Kannamma!
