Pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu!
Pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu!
Pesarattu, oh pesarattu,
The famous pesarattu of Vijayawada!
Chorus: Pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu, pesarattu!
Female: Dipping into this side and that,
The young men yearn to feast!
I am like a Sony TV model,
And my body is full of multiple channels!
Just press the button, hear so many tunes,
What plays is always love songs!
Bad boys, bad boys, we are not,
Oh fragrant jasmine!
We are playboys, playboys!
Roadside Romeos,
We are not, oh fragrant jasmine!
We are good boys, good boys!
Pesarattu, oh pesarattu,
The famous pesarattu of Vijayawada!
Dipping into this side and that,
The young men yearn to feast!
I have my own kind of sexiness,
A kiss on my lips is like fresh blooming flowers!
In the evening hours, young hearts
I am the mixer that blends and squeezes dry!
My clothing expense is strictly rationed,
Look at this nation falling in love!
If I contest in elections, I will win,
And the whole assembly session will agree!
Every single day, in a different way,
My fashion keeps on changing!
Bad boys, bad boys, we are not,
Oh fragrant jasmine!
We are playboys, playboys!
Roadside Romeos,
We are not, oh fragrant jasmine!
We are good boys, good boys!
Pesarattu, oh pesarattu,
The famous pesarattu of Vijayawada!
Dipping into this side and that,
The young men yearn to feast!
Hong Kong, Bangkok, Rajahmundry,
An Amul baby who has travelled all the way to Abu Dhabi!
Hong Kong, Bangkok, Rajahmundry,
An Amul baby who has travelled all the way to Abu Dhabi!
In dance and style, I am like Steffi Graf,
Anyone would ask me for an autograph!
Look at Playboy, the expert magazine,
It is my photograph on the cover!
With his skillful fingers, God crafted me,
Giving me curves like luscious oranges to hold!
If a beauty contest takes place on earth,
I challenge that I will win the prize!
I am young and tender, my flower-like body is soft as cotton,
And my age is just sweet twenty!
Bad boys, bad boys, we are not,
Oh fragrant jasmine!
We are playboys, playboys!
Roadside Romeos,
We are not, oh fragrant jasmine!
We are good boys, good boys!
Pesarattu, oh pesarattu,
The famous pesarattu of Vijayawada!
Dipping into this side and that,
The young men yearn to feast!
I am like a Sony TV model,
And my body is full of multiple channels!
Just press the button, hear so many tunes,
What plays is always love songs!
Bad boys, bad boys, we are not,
Oh fragrant jasmine!
We are playboys, playboys!
Roadside Romeos,
We are not, oh fragrant jasmine!
We are good boys, good boys!
Pesarattu, oh pesarattu,
The famous pesarattu of Vijayawada!
Dipping into this side and that,
The young men yearn to feast!
