Hey girl
To tell you about the love
That is in my heart,
Wait just a moment
Your eyes are as intoxicating as palm wine,
Those eyes that completely knock me out
Hey, I am singing because of you,
Just look at me, girl!
Whenever you appear before me,
My heart flutters like turning pages
Ho ho...
Hey, why are you moving away from me?
If you walk away, I will follow right behind you
If your sister agrees when I ask her,
I will tie the thali (sacred wedding knot) for you
The wedding drums will beat for us!
Girl, inside the shelter of my heart,
I will hold you close and carry you
Oh girl, knowing you are my world,
I will keep revolving around you
Girl, inside the shelter of my heart,
I will hold you close and carry you
Oh girl, knowing you are my world,
I will keep revolving around you
The moment I saw you,
My love didn't just appear by chance
My beautiful girl, all my poems today
Exist only because of you
The entire meaning
Of every word is you
Girl, my eyes freeze in place
Right here, because of you
Ah, beauty may fade away one day,
Age will catch up and hair will turn grey,
Holding hands, I will still love you
Come to me with your shy blush,
My feisty, short-tempered lady!
Girl, even if you scold me and chase me away,
I will come back to you on my knees
Oh girl, if you agree to share your life with me,
I will carry you high on my shoulders
Girl, even if you scold me and chase me away,
I will come back to you on my knees
Oh girl, if you agree to share your life with me,
I will carry you high on my shoulders... yeah... hey

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This track is a playful, upbeat, and deeply earnest romantic declaration by the protagonist to his beloved. He begs her to pause and listen as he confesses his feelings, describing her intoxicating gaze that completely disarms him. He humorously pledges to seek her elder sister's permission to marry her, promising a life filled with commitment, affection, and loyalty. As the song progresses, the tone shifts slightly to a more mature devotion. He acknowledges that youth and physical beauty are temporary and that age will eventually bring grey hair. However, he vows to hold her hand through every stage of life, promising to love her endlessly despite her feisty temper or playful rejections.
