Can any man resist beauty?
Are they fish that won't get caught in the net? Tiny little fish!
Isn't romance natural when you are young?
Can there be a fence for the ocean, girl? Cross over and come!

Chorus: The flowering vine beckons...
Just to serve a woman's saree,
Chorus: La la la la
Female: Some kingdoms were born!
When the saree grew angry,
Many kingdoms were split in two!
Will the flag of women ever be lowered?
Does the restless ocean ever sleep?
Can a woman ever be kept under a man's control?
Can raindrops ever drench the sky?
Ding-dong...

To quietly be enslaved,
Chorus: La la la la
Female: This woman is no coward!
Just to bear fruit for a man,
This woman is no plantain tree!
Always fly your flag high in the family!
Filter out troubles without any confusion!
Set limits so your husband doesn't cross the line!
If he tries to control you, just walk away!
