If you just look at me with your eyes,
it feels like a colorful movie.
If you touch me with your finger,
it turns into pure art.
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll show you a jolly good time!
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll give you a reward fit for your sparkle!
Come over this way, girl,
share your sweetness with me, girl!
Don't rush past me over there,
don't run away from me!
Bring a horse and come over,
take me along to Madurai!
All the wealth and property you own,
sign it over and give it to me!
Are you a stunner? Are you a sweetheart?
Chorus: She's as sweet as block jaggery!
Male: I'm a number one rascal!
Chorus: Come on, let's run away together!
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll show you a jolly good time!
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll give you a reward fit for your sparkle!
Across the whole town of Madurai,
there are wealthy landlords,
yet she made me burst with excitement,
my dazzling white firecracker!
You're a girl as sweet as adhirasam (traditional sweet pastry),
there isn't a single person alive
who wouldn't want a taste of you!
You're a girl as sweet as adhirasam,
there isn't a single person alive
who wouldn't want a taste of you!
I'm tender string hoppers, ready and warm,
will you come pull me strand by strand and feast?
Through a day so long it never seems to end,
will you shower me in a rain of sweat till dawn?
If you just look at me with your eyes,
it feels like a colorful movie.
If you touch me with your finger,
it turns into pure art.
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll show you a jolly good time!
Oh glamorous girl, stylish beauty,
come here, I'll give you a reward fit for your sparkle!
Hey jikkan!
Hey jinukku jikkan!
Hey-ye hey-ye hey ye hey hey!
Hey jikkan!
Hey jinukku jikkan!
Hey-ye hey-ye hey ye hey hey!
Hey jikkan!
Hey jinukku jikkan!
Like looking at polished white marble,
I gazed upon you!
Standing right in front of you,
I saw my own reflection!
Like looking at polished white marble,
I gazed upon you!
Standing right in front of you,
I saw my own reflection!
With our hearts fluttering like butterflies,
shall we take flight together?
Shall we forget this whole known world?
You are the moon dancing down on this earth!
She is absolute beauty from head to toe!
She is a feast that never takes a holiday!
She is the only cure for my hiccups!
Like looking at polished white marble,
I gazed upon you!
Standing right in front of you,
I saw my own reflection!
Hey, I'm a boy from Vepery,
ready for a grand musical celebration!
I'm coming to give you a jolly good time!
I'm a boy from Vepery,
ready for a grand musical celebration!
I'm coming to bring a reward fit for your sparkle!
Come over this way, girl,
share your sweetness with me, girl!
Don't rush past me over there,
don't run away from me!
I will bring a horse and come,
I will take you along to Madurai!
All the wealth and property I own,
I will sign over and give to you!
Are you a stunner? Are you a sweetheart?
