Shall we go fall in love?
Female: Yeah!
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?
If I just look at her, she gives me a slight glare
She melts my heart like ice
She stands without standing still
She walks without actually walking
I follow around right behind her
She pierces me with her eyes
What is it, sweet girl?
You are my beloved Kannamma!
Female: Oh my my!
Male: Oh my my!
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?

Bum sha lakkadi hah aan hah aan hey
You keep glancing at me from the corner of your eye
What's wrong with looking right at me?
Assa pussha
Hiding love deep inside your heart
You put on an act outside, Kannamma!
Pussha assa
Your dad has given his consent
Your mom has given her consent
Your brother has given his consent
Even your younger sister has given her consent!
Female: Who told you that?
Even if they agree, so what?
I'm the one who has to say okay!
Male: Say it then, darling!
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?

Shall we go fall in love... aaah...

Assa pussha
Between the ribbon fish, ha-haan,
And the eel fish... ha-haan,
Between the ribbon fish
And the eel fish...
There is a wedding, they say!
There is a wedding, they say!
If you and I also get married
There is nothing wrong with that!
Assa pussha
Born in a blend of black and white
A baby will arrive, nothing wrong with that!
Pussha assa
Chanting "Assa Pussha"
Begging for your love
Hovering only around you
I've left everything else behind!
Female: Hey, dreaming wild, crazy dreams
Don't babble pointless stories!
Just get lost!
Male: Okay, I'm off!
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?
Assa pussha
Shall we go fall in love?
If I just look at her, she gives me a slight glare
She melts my heart like ice
She stands without standing still

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This lighthearted and upbeat track from 'Muni' (2007) portrays playful romantic banter between the male and female leads. The male protagonist persistently courts the girl using gibberish catchy refrains ('Assha bussha', 'Bumshalakadi') and playful arguments about how her family already approves, suggesting they get married.
