Aaha haa... aaha... aaah...
Aaah... aaah... aaah... aaah...
What is the name of the prince who touched and swept me up, my friend?
Tell me, friend, what is his story?
What is the hometown of the beloved who touched and entwined my heart?
Tell me, friend, what is his secret?
Come running, my love... come unite with me in love...
Oh, sweet parrot, every single day...
What is the name of the prince who touched and swept me up, my friend?
Tell me, friend, what is his story?
In this sweet moment when loved ones cradle you with care,
Heaven itself must descend to pamper me with joy.
The golden Ponni river must flow by for a bath,
And you must come every day to rule over my life.
Magical wonders that a young woman's heart has never seen—
Come on your own to shower them upon me.
Seeing the arrows of Manmatha (god of love) setting my soul on fire,
Please come quickly and rescue me from this longing.
Come running, my love... come unite with me in love...
Come running, my love... come unite with me in love...
Oh, sweet parrot, every single day...
What is the name of the lovely girl who touched and embraced me, my friend?
Tell me, friend, what is her story?
What is the hometown of the young woman who entwined my heart?
Tell me, friend, what is her secret?
Aaah... aaah...
Aaah...
O golden blossom glowing with gentle radiance,
O lovely moon swaying softly upon a swing,
O beauty dancing gracefully like a flash of lightning,
Sing a melody through your speaking eyes, sweet cuckoo bird.
Like a wild bull that once wandered freely without restraint,
You reined me in and now tease me with your smiling eyes, my beauty.
Like a roaring flood overflowing past both its riverbanks,
You built a dam of love and embraced it, sweet bird.
You are within me... and I am within you...
You are within me... and I am within you...
Oh, sweet parrot, every single day...
What is the name of the lovely girl who touched and embraced me, my friend?
Tell me, friend, what is her story?
What is the hometown of the young woman who entwined my heart?
Tell me, friend, what is her secret?
Come running, my love... come unite with me in love...
Oh, sweet parrot, every single day...
What is the name of the lovely girl who touched and embraced me, my friend?
Tell me, friend, what is her story?
