Jinjukku jinjukku saan, hey!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
There is no vomiting, no morning sickness, but
how did this belly just grow on its own?
Hey girl, no vomiting, no morning sickness, but
how did this belly just grow on its own?
Aha, no thaali (wedding thread) has been tied around your neck,
and you haven't brought me a wedding night glass of milk,
so before all that, can you just sneak away inside?
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
A precious golden girl like you
should not be telling lies!
There is no pure-hearted girl in this town like you, hey!
No wedding has taken place,
and our hands haven't even touched,
so if something happens inside, that's not good!
Shall I turn this lie into the truth right now?
Hey, shall I become a temple priest and drive the spirit away?
A young golden queen with a gorgeous figure,
drop the tricks and come join the fun now!
Hey, just quiet down, mister!
What I said is what I said, hey!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
There is no vomiting, no morning sickness, but
how did this belly just grow on its own?
Hey girl, no vomiting, no morning sickness, but

Aha, no thaali (wedding thread) has been tied around your neck,
and you haven't brought me a wedding night glass of milk,
so before all that, can you just sneak away inside?
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
I'm a good guy to good people,
the darling boy of this whole land!
A poor boy who has nothing—listen to me, girl, hey!
Trusting the people of this town,
I haven't done anything deceitful!
If it is taken without asking, there is no shame in it!
To outdo me around here,
who else is there, girl? Hey!
Why does a girl need such wild temper now?
No need to set a trap,
no need to come laying hands on me!
I have made my mark, so no more contest is needed!
Hey, just quiet down, mister!
What I said is what I said, hey!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
Young girl, oh young girl,
tell me the truth, my dear!
There is no vomiting, no morning sickness, but
how did this belly just grow on its own?
Hey girl, no vomiting, no morning sickness, but

Aha, no thaali (wedding thread) has been tied around your neck,

tell me the truth, my dear!
