Where is the eight-anna coin?
A banana for ten annas!
Is it mutton or chicken?
Drank the soup and got caught!
Like a balloon tossed by the wind?
Off to Ceylon for a cup of black tea?
Sinjunukkaa jigaanaa!
Rihanna just gave a wink!

Sinjunukkaa jigaanaa!
Rihanna just gave a wink!
Is that the tinkle of anklets, or a classic Tamil painting?
Are you a gentle breeze, or my timeless poem?
Am I poet Valluvar, and are you my Vasuki?
Are you an angel, or my sweet love?
A stylish belle with the graceful walk of a swan,
Like a precious pearl from the waves of the Bay of Bengal,
Like the palm-leaf manuscript and stylus in poet Valluvar's hand,
A gorgeous girl with a picture-perfect smile!
The whole town!
Male: Banana!
Male: The whole country!
Male: Ceylon!
Male: No-na!
Male: Alone-a!
Male: Chi-na!
Male: Chi pe thoo!
The whole town looks at you,

My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart...
My heart stumbles and plays tricks,
Struggling and getting the hiccups!
Who is the reason for all this?
Is it because she walked past with shy grace?
Is it because the white peacock swooned?
I have even forgotten all my words!
Among the five great Tamil epics,
you are the lovely Valayapathi!
A sculpted beauty that even King Raja Raja Chola
never got to behold, my girl!
Like the sweetest divine mango fruit
of Lord Murugan of Palani,
you are equal to all of those wonders, my girl!
The way she walks is pure beauty,
her slender waist is beauty itself!
Where her saree glitters bright,
her brand-new blouse has a unique charm of its own!
Her dark eyes sparkle and tease,
the dimple on her cheek blushes red,
and her gorgeous face
is an enchanting, peerless full moon!
Hey, golden flowering vine!
Hey, wild jasmine vine!
Hey, water lily vine!
Hey, sweet jasmine vine!
I was longing for you, girl!
What were your thoughts about me, girl?
I was yearning and hurting for you, girl!
I was yearning and hurting for you, girl!
Drunk out of my senses on local booze,
lying under the shade of a tree,
just like a frog right now,
I am rolling around and crawling, girl!
This is an all-curing potion!
Gulping it down and flying like Bruce Lee,
even in the middle of hell,
a man would settle down, lost in thoughts of you!
Where is the eight-anna coin?
A banana for ten annas!
Is it mutton or chicken?
Drank the soup and got caught!
Like a balloon tossed by the wind?
Off to Ceylon for a cup of black tea?
