En maima peru thaanda anjala
Ava kabilunu poonthutadaa nenjula
Unnanda thaan naanum vandhu kenjala
Aana maatikinnu thavikirendi loveula
Thakkaali palamaa pulinjitta ennai
Manasa meenaattam aanjita ponna
Bushunnu seerura nagini pola
Kaluga suthurendi un pinnaala
{Vaadi nee vaadi
En gulfi gulfi
Vaaya konayathaan vechikinnu

My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into my heart!
I didn't even come begging to you,
Yet I'm trapped and struggling in love with you!
You squeezed me like a ripe tomato,
You sliced up my heart like a fish, darling!
Like a hissing snake you flare up,
While I circle behind you like a hawk!
Come to me, oh come on,
My sweet kulfi ice cream,
Let us pout our lips
And take a selfie!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into my heart!
With a jingling rhythm
In the stylish way you strut,
Even the thread snapped
In the vada your mother fried!
Just like a jet plane,
I zoom right past!
Following behind you,
I wear out like a worn-out slipper!
Come running quickly to me,
It is only you I want!
If I blink for just a second,
Poof! You vanish like magic!
Stylish fancy girl,
You show off like a sweet jalebi!
Don't play your silly drama
And fake tricks with your man!
My girl, oh my girl,
Your man belongs only to you!
Oh my girl, my darling girl,
Trust your man and come to me!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into my heart!
You look so bright,
You smile so cute,
With the ball you bowled,
I got clean bowled out!
When she says hello,
She sounds so sweet!
It is all because of you, girl,
That I lost my wicket!
The grandma frying vada on the moon—
Don't tell me that old bedtime story!
Don't grind me down slowly
Like soft batter!
Natter and chatter as they like,
I am the best in Gaana!
Without you, girl,
Sudhakar's scooter will not run!
My girl, oh my girl,
Your man belongs only to you!
Oh my girl, my darling girl,
Your man belongs only to you!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into my heart!
Sizzling like Silk Smitha,
Swaying in your walk like Namitha,
For your hot parotta,
Shall I come as the spicy gravy?
You speeding bullet,
Do not stir up trouble!
Because of you, girl,
Gaana Sudha has turned into a robot!
Shall I craft a wedding thali in gold
And tie it around your neck?
Tell me right now,
Shall I carry you piggyback?
To me, you are
Like writing inked upon a card!
Shall we head off to Goa, girl,
Just the two of us on an outing?
My girl, oh my girl,
Your man is only yours, girl!
Oh my girl, my darling girl,
Trust this man and come to me!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into my heart!
I didn't even come begging to you,
Yet I'm trapped and struggling in love with you!
You squeezed me like a ripe tomato,
You sliced up my heart like a fish, darling!
Like a hissing snake you flare up,
While I circle behind you like a hawk!
Come to me, oh come on,
My sweet kulfi ice cream,
Let us pout our lips
And take a selfie!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into Sudha's heart!
My girl's name is Anjala,
She slipped right into Sudha's heart!

Trivia
