So many have hovered around me,
circling around after seeing me!
So many have looked into my eyes
and lost their senses!
If I simply wink, kings
are right here by my side!
If I wave my hand, they fall at my feet!
Yet looking at you, I lost myself,
my handsome prince!
Since my heart is yearning restlessly,
hold me gently in your arms!
So many have hovered around me,
circling around after seeing me!
So many have looked into my eyes
and lost their senses!
Seek the charming boat,
to make a bed of scented javvadhu powder!
Which man wouldn't be captivated?
Come join me without a word!
To embrace each other, my gentle deer...
Aah... aa... aah... aah
To embrace each other, my gentle deer,
oh sweet honey for the bed!
Come on up to the mattress,
come on for a rehearsal!
Yet looking at you, I lost myself,
my handsome prince!
Since my heart is yearning restlessly,
hold me gently in your arms!
So many have hovered around me,
circling around after seeing me!
So many have looked into my eyes
and lost their senses!
Naanna nanna na nannan
Naanaa naanna
Naanna nanna na nanna nannan naa
In the grove of red bananas,
look at this lovely pot of honey!
Ha, upon the graceful pomegranate flower,
a hundred joyful processions!
The chariot of pleasure will race along...
Aah... aa... aah... aah
The chariot of pleasure will race along,
seeking a golden blessing!
Oh rose of the bedroom,
come rest with me, my prince!
Yet looking at you, I lost myself,
my handsome prince!
Since my heart is yearning restlessly,
hold me gently in your arms!
So many have hovered around me,
circling around after seeing me!
So many have looked into my eyes
and lost their senses!
If I simply wink, kings
are right here by my side!
If I wave my hand, they fall at my feet!
Yet looking at you, I lost myself,
my handsome prince!
Since my heart is yearning restlessly,
hold me gently in your arms!
So many have hovered around me,
circling around after seeing me!
So many have looked into my eyes
and lost their senses!
