Fish curry for idli,
In my heart, it's you...
Broccoli for salad,
For love, it's you...
A hundred varieties of parotta,
Chorus: Haan haan
Male: Shall I show you around town?
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: A crab curry samosa,
Shall I feed it to you?
Sitting inside the car,
Chorus: Haan haan
Male: Without just settling for coffee,
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: Hot soup from a roadside stall,
Shall I treat you to bowls of it?
Our Grandpa Gandhi's
Smile is on the rupee note,
And this Gandhi boy's laughter is
In your heartbeat!
Grandpa Gandhi's smile is
On the rupee note,
And this Gandhi boy's laughter is
In your heartbeat!
Ajukku ajukku gumukku gumukku…
Come…
Male: The kingfish folks who cuddled me when I was little,
Have all come together,
Why?
Male: Just to catch a glimpse
Of the lovely girl in my heart!
Come…
Male: Our lively, bustling
Anchovy buddies have all come together,
Why?
Just to see the sweet girl
Who has taken over my mind!
Has time fried up a love snack
And served it fresh to me?
Did my stressed-out mind turn happy
And burst into song?
Ah, ajukku ajukku,
Gumukku gumukku!
With the flying kiss she blew my way,
Have I gone crazy with love?
Ajukku ajukku gumukku gumukku…
Hey, through the soap bubble wand,
Blow a hundred bubbles!
Chorus: Aha
Male: Inside the floating bubbles,
Shall I show my girl's face?
Chorus: Hoo hoo
On a colourful Ferris wheel,
Shall I take you for a spin?
Chorus: Aha
Male: Sundari Akka's stall for dinner,
Moru Thaatha's stall for dessert!
She is a laughing beauty,
Shining with style,
Pure style!
Like camphor catching fire,
She is my firm anchor,
My anchor!
Ah, ajukku ajukku,
Gumukku gumukku…
You are forever and always,
Mine and only mine…
Our Grandpa Gandhi's
Smile is on the rupee note,
And this Gandhi boy's laughter is
In your heartbeat!
Grandpa Gandhi's smile is
On the rupee note,
And this Gandhi boy's laughter is
In your heartbeat!
Ajukku ajukku gumukku gumukku…
