Is this really our first night?
Or have there been many nights like this?
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come!
Are you my lawfully wedded wife?
Is this the time to cuddle and romance?
I am indeed your wedded wife!
It is indeed the time to cuddle and romance!
Ammam-mamma!
Appap-pappa pappap-pappa!
Is this really our first night?
Or have there been many nights like this? Hey hey!
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come!
Why this sudden affection, girl?
How did this marriage even happen?
You act like a virtuous wife,
Coming so close and bumping into me!
You cast a colorful net,
Fresh like a blooming jasmine flower!
The parrot picks a fortune card, why dispute with Inbavalli?
Why does your pretty face look like a monkey that ate ginger?
You keep clinging to me, step back and behave!
I set my heart on you,
Ah... ah ah...
Are you still angry with me? Ah... ah...
I have always loved you,
Is everything my fault?
What harm will come if you touch me?
With my saree pallu swaying like a ball, let me dance before you!
Is this really our first night?
Or have there been many nights like this?
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come!
Are you my lawfully wedded wife?
Is this the time to cuddle and romance?
I am indeed your wedded wife!
It is indeed the time to cuddle and romance!
Ammam-mamma!
Appap-pappa pappap-pappa!
Is this really our first night?
Female: Ha!
Male: Or have there been many nights like this?
Female: Ha!
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come!
What on earth are you thinking, girl?
Why do you torment me so much?
I have suffered enough, step aside!
I truly love you, please understand!
Is it right to run away from the man you married?
Is it right for you to speak so foolishly?
O golden beauty, I am captivated by you every day!
How could my heart ever stay apart from you?
When you come into my embrace,
Ah... ah... ah...
Your body must hold and welcome me... mm...
Finding the honey on your ruby lips,
I must drink it without spilling a drop!
Now there is no more longing!
Like untouched blossoms swaying, let us shower kisses and play!
Is this really our first night?
Or have there been many nights like this? Hey hey!
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come! Ha ha!
Are you my lawfully wedded wife?
Is this the time to cuddle and romance?
I am indeed your wedded wife!
It is indeed the time to cuddle and romance!
Ammam-mamma!
Appap-pappa pappap-pappa!
Is this really our first night?
Or have there been many nights like this? Hey hey hey!
This is indeed our first night!
And there are many more nights like this to come! Ha ha ha ha haha!
