Girl with the raven-black hair bun!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with a voice as sweet as jaggery!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with forty sparkling teeth!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with eyes like darting little loach fish!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Strike with a flower, and she is a bloodless slayer!
A chameleon in love, a spooky phantom in the night!
She set plain cold water on fire with a single glance!
Hey, I leaped across and touched your half-saree!
Wipe away all this sweat with your kisses!
Girl with the raven-black hair bun!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with a voice as sweet as jaggery!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with forty sparkling teeth!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with eyes like darting little loach fish!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Strike with a flower, and she is a bloodless slayer!
...
Will you brush me off saying, "Chi, get lost!"?
Or will you make me moan and cry out in pleasure?
Seeing your waist sweet as ginger candy, I crumpled completely!
Spread the warmth of your moist lips and iron me smooth!
You tricky charmer full of colorful magic!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
You spirited singer who whips up a frenzy!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
I thought of you like a grand elephant in Thekkady!
I hid you under my tongue like a lump of rock candy!
Girl with the raven-black hair bun!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Oh, girl with a voice as sweet as jaggery!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Haan, girl with forty sparkling teeth!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Nana rarara, girl with eyes like darting little loach fish!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Strike with a flower, and she is a bloodless slayer!
Ela ela ela ela elamma
Ela ela ela ela ela elamma
Ola ola ola ola olamma
Ola ola ola ola ola olamma
Are you the luscious trio of mango, jackfruit, and banana?
Shall I play "sha-boo-three" and feast on you?
Like a fruit bat, will you hold me gently without biting?
Will you cling close to me like twin bananas?
You tasty egg snack from Isakki's little shop!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
You crunchy snack from a tent-cinema intermission!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Your body is just like warm, freshly boiled milk!
Just move aside that layer of cream a little!
Girl with the raven-black hair bun!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with a voice as sweet as jaggery!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with forty sparkling teeth!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Girl with eyes like darting little loach fish!
Randakka randakka randakka randakka
Strike with a flower, and she is a bloodless slayer!
A chameleon in love, a spooky phantom in the night!
She set plain cold water on fire with a single glance!
Hey, I leaped across and touched your half-saree!
Wipe away all this sweat with your kisses!
Ela ela ela ela elamma
Ela ela ela ela ela elamma
