Little girl, darling girl,
Shall I come to talk to you, touching you again and again for no reason?
Asking 'what is it?', I step away...
Shall I come to dance with you with love and affection?

Wandering all over the town,
With her heart feeling restless on its own,
Wandering all over the town,
With her heart feeling restless on its own,
A young girl has come standing to trap you!
Chorus: Ho hooi!
No need to speak her name,
No need for all this talk,
No need to speak her name,
No need for all this talk,
She waits near you, brushing right against you!
Chorus: Oh my!
You will get a blow aimed straight,
If hit, your voice will choke,
You will get a slap straight across the face,
If struck on the back, your voice will choke!
Answer me right now!

You are running on the wrong path in the night,

Oh prince of a bridegroom, like Cupid himself,
Oh prince of a bridegroom, like Cupid himself,
To hold your face and kiss you,
My heart pulls me!
You are the real man with authority,

I desire you, kiss me firmly, my lips are quivering!
Chorus: Right now!
Hmm, I didn't come for this, don't pull my fingers!
I didn't come for this, don't pull my fingers!
Chorus: Embrace my beauty and see!

Foolish girl, do not try to dance!
Chorus: Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Your arrogance will subside now,
Little sister, you need not search!

My precious gem, you are a gorgeous beauty,
Your guileless heart is pure gold,
Don't you know about me?
I am a disciplined male lion!

Your guileless heart is pure gold,
Don't you know about me?
I am a disciplined male lion!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful narrative song portrays a high-energy banter between a flirtatious young woman and a disciplined, honorable man (Ramaiyya Pillai). The female lead teasingly tries to entice him with affection and dance, while the chorus chiming in adds comedic commentary. The hero consistently declines her advances, explaining that he is a man of self-control and moral principles who respects women too much to engage in foolish entanglements.
