Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Wait, wait, wait!
Precious girl, sculpted beauty,
Speak, speak, speak!
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Wait, wait, wait!
Precious girl, sculpted beauty,
Speak, speak, speak!
Speak, speak, speak!
Speak, speak, speak!

Wait, wait, wait!
Precious girl, sculpted beauty,
Speak, speak, speak!
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Wait, wait, wait!
Precious girl, sculpted beauty,
Speak, speak, speak!
Oh my, stunning beauty,
Who is living deep in your heart, girl?
With eyes so wide and bright,
Who sculpted your beauty, girl?
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl!
...
With a sweet jingle-jangle,
your playful flirting whispers...
Tell me, why, oh why,
do your eyes plead like this?
Every time you laugh,
seashells come spilling down!
Push your shyness aside,
it is just getting in the way!
You sent a letter with your eyes,
why did my turmeric paste change its color?
From now on, between you and me,
there is a fever of kisses!
Come on, let it begin,
this sweet uproar of bashfulness!
I touched the sunlight,
and it was hot, so hot!
I felt the rain falling on me,
in endless streaming lines!
Who is he?
Just who is he?
Will people ask for my name?
Is it my name or your name,
will they know that we are one?
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl!
...
A kiss, a kiss!
Female: Oh no, it tastes bitter!
Male: Again and again,
Female: when asked, it turns sweet!
Male: The math of love
is so different... mmm...
Male: Will it burn, will it burn,
Female: if you touch the fire?
Male: Is it pure joy,
this dream of love?
It is the very breath of life... mmm...
You are molten,
overflowing gold!
Eyes that look upon you are captivated!
Your weight and waist are so tiny and slim,
is there a shortage of food at your home?
Chinnamma, sweet parrot girl,
Wait, wait, wait!
Precious girl, sculpted beauty,
Speak, speak, speak!
Oh my, stunning beauty,
Who is living deep in your heart, girl?
Precious darling, precious darling,
Tell me, tell me!
Male: Bright moonlit night!
Female: The chill of the night!
Male: Clear flowing river!
Female: Riverbank by the water!
Male: You are beauty
woven into form... mmm...
Male: Sweet, tender words!
Female: The soul within those words!
Male: Freezing snow!
Female: Hahaha!
Male: You are my hundred
percent... mmm...
You are a bed
covered in flowers!
Your lips are a seat of honey!
I study geometry across your body!
What censorship can stop me from singing of you?
With a sweet jingle-jangle,
your playful flirting whispers...
Tell me, why, oh why,
do your eyes plead like this?
Every time you laugh,
seashells come spilling down!
Push your shyness aside,
it is just getting in the way!
You sent a letter with your eyes,
and the turmeric on your skin changed its color!
Oh, between you and me,
a fever of kisses has begun!
From now on, let it begin,
this sweet uproar of bashfulness!
